Russ, et al, There is a precedent that may need to be established here that is not relevant to the TLS Working Group (therefore their omission in the CC list above). The text to that Bill refers to actually says the following: "These notices may not be used with any standards-track document or with most working group documents, except as discussed in Section 7.3 below, since the IETF must retain change control over its documents and the ability to augment, clarify and enhance the original IETF Contribution in accordance with the IETF Standards Process." Further, in section 7.3, RFC 3978 says the following: "Occasionally a Contributor may not want to grant publication rights or the right to produce derivative works before finding out if an IETF Contribution has been accepted for development in the IETF Standards Process. In these cases the Contributor may include the Derivative Works Limitation described in Section 5.2 and the Publication Limitation described in Section 5.3 in their IETF Contribution. A working group can discuss the Internet-Draft with the aim to decide if it should become a working group document, even though the right to produce derivative works or to publish the IETF Contribution as an RFC has not yet been granted. If the IETF Contribution is accepted for development the Contributor must then resubmit the IETF Contribution without the limitation notices before a working group can formally adopt the IETF Contribution as a working group document." Because this document has not been accepted by any working group, the authors are perfectly within their rights to make changing wording of the derivative rights section contingent on the outcome of the IETF last call. -- Eric --> -----Original Message----- --> From: Russ Housley [mailto:housley@xxxxxxxxxxxx] --> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 5:22 PM --> To: Bill Fenner; Steven M.
