How can that support be demonstrated? I don't see how we can say anything about support for experimental unless the community is asked to answer that question. That question has been asked in an earlier last call: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.announce/21152 Presumably, no support for publishing on experimental could be demonstrated at that time. Btw, the patent disclaimer #833 is still not available from the IETF web site. The community can no longer evaluate the complete patent license history around the document. I believe this violates BCP79: Copies of IPR disclosures made to the IETF Secretariat and any assurances of licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to obtain a general license or permission for the use of such proprietary rights by implementers or users of this specification can be obtained from the IETF on-line IPR repository at http://www.ietf.org/ipr. By removing earlier disclaimers, I believe the IETF has moved into the territory of making decision about the validity of patent related claims. /Simon _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
