The IETF Trust determines that there is a specific legal risk that

the IETF Chair determines that there is not IETF consensus against
the specific changes.
What do you think the Trust is doing in this case?
They have failed (and continue to fail) to complete step 1.
They have made live changes during step 2 and have not reset the last
call counter (which we do not do in IETF LC: If the changes are
strictly editorial, the RFC Editor can be asked to make the changes,
otherwise we reset the LC).
And there is nothing in the 6/23 announcement or the 7/18 followup to
indicate that they intend to fulfill step 3. To the contrary, it says:
Please accept this message as a formal request by the IETF Trustees
for your review and feedback on the proposed revision to the TLP
document. The comment period will end on July 20, 2009.
I expect the Trustees will decide on whether to adopt this revision
shortly after July 20, 2009.
Not good.
