Re: RIM patents using a mime body in a message (and ignores IETF IPR rules)

How about the IESG simply rescinds its decision in this week's
meeting? I don't see any need for an appeal; if there's a
prima facie violation of the disclosure rules, it's just a
management item. Much less bother than an appeal.

Of course, the rescission would be subject to appeal, but
that's another story.
