All - First, I want to thank everyone who took the time to comment on the IETF Trust document during the Consensus Call. After reviewing the comments the IAOC has taken the following actions: 1] The parties to the IETF Trust have agreed to amend Section 9.5 of the founding document in order to address concerns about licensing terms that might have adversely effected future contributions of standards related documents. The Trustees will work with the IPR-WG and the IETF community to ensure that any standards-related documents placed in the Trust are treated in a manner approved by the community through regular IETF processes. http://koi.uoregon.edu/~iaoc/docs/IETF-Trust-12-08-05.pdf 2] The IAOC has published draft "Administrative Procedures of the IETF Trust". These procedures will be approved by the Trustees after the IETF Trust is established. As members of the IAOC, the Trustees will be bound by conditions of BCP 101 and any future updates to the IAOC/IASA structure approved by the IETF community. The IAOC remains committed to the responsibilities outlined in BCP 101 and as Trustees we would expect to adhere to the same standards to ensure that the IETF Trust is run in a transparent and accountable manner. http://koi.uoregon.edu/~iaoc/docs/TrustProcedures20051111.pdf 3] The IETF Trust FAQ was updated to outline the plans for dealing with the transfer of assets listed in Schedule A. http://koi.uoregon.edu/~iaoc/docs/TrustFAQv1.2.txt In conclusion - We believe that the substantive issues raised in public and private comments have been addressed and that there is now consensus on the version of the IETF Trust dated 12/08/05. The IAOC will move forward with signing and the IETF Trust will be established to further the interests of the IETF as a whole. Thanks - Lucy E.
