I think there is a bigger issue with encumbering the people of the US for
paying for creating an indexing system for the IETF to prevent the
Chair/Trust from doing its job.
I suggest that this is another stupid idea from the Trust to keep them from
actually answering the question as to what they are going to do to
1) Protect IETF IP's
2) Market those IP's
