Webmaster, Julian noticed that this page contains the old NOTE WELL text. According to: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg05509.html The new NOTE WELL text have been updated.

By reading ietf-announce and the notification of RFC 5378, I suppose. However, I don't think that meets the legal requirement that every participant should have "reasonable" been exposed to the text. Posting the new text to every list reduces the IETF's liabilities here, when someone argues they have not seen the NOTE WELL text. I think it is clear that participants at IETF 73 have not reasonable seen the new NOTE WELL since that text wasn't (as far as I know) available at that time. In fact, I still do not know where the new NOTE WELL is available from... In fact, searching for "note well rfc 5378" doesn't result in anything useful. /Simon _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
