Hi Edward, on 2007-01-23 22:46 Edward Lewis said the following: ... > Where in there is there a requirement to include the text mentioned below? > > * The document seems to lack an RFC 3979 Section 5, para 1 IPR Disclosure > Acknowledgement. > > * The document seems to lack an RFC 3979 Section 5, para 2 IPR Disclosure > Acknowledgement. > > * The document seems to lack an RFC 3979 Section 5, para 3 IPR Disclosure > Invitation. This appears to be an excerpt from the output of the idnits tool. If you had included a few lines more of the output, you would have seen a line above the ones you quote, saying: " Checking nits according to http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html:"; So the answer is that the requirements for this are in the ID-Checklist, which applies to drafts that are submitted for IESG consideration, rather than in the ID-Guidelines (http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html) which apply to draft submitted to internet-drafts@xxxxxxxx in general. The ID-Checklist is referenced from the same page you referred to earlier, http://www.ietf.org/ID.html, a couple of lines below the reference and link to the ID-Guidelines.
