We are missing two key pieces of the IETF's Governance Model.. The first is a bi-lateral Hold-Harmless Agreement between the Participants and the IETF and more importantly, between their Sponsers and the IETF, and they and all other participants and their Sponsers. Otherwise my feeling is that there is significant liability for each and every IETF participant. Jorge? want to comment on this? and while you are at it, how about commenting too as to what happens the first time someone figures out in an HR department that there is a requirement for an Enduring Power of Attorney for IP matters in the IETF.
