However, the topic is frequently covered in WG Chair training sessions. There's a prominent link to IPR issues on the WG Chair's page, including a separate Wiki just on IPR (and the introduction page there explicitly cites 3669). That's not a substitute for all WG participants knowing it, but I'd guess that most chairs do, and can bring it up as appropriate. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
