Hi - I originally asked this question on the WG chairs' list, and was asked to ask again here... The discussion about RFC 5378 (what little I've been able to understand of it, anyway) has focussed on I-Ds and RFCs. However, the definition of "contribution" in that document includes, among other things, mailing list discussions. Does this mean that we need to get contributor permission before using, for example, material from a pre-5378 RFC in a mailing list discussion, or before including text from a pre-5378 email posting in an internet draft? This seems really silly, but that's what the discussion is starting to sound like to me. Randy _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
