In the scope of this thread's subject line you're right that that kind of "contribution" doesn't matter because it's not measurable. (... but on the topic of what a contribution is from the point of view of IPR, you're encouraged to disclose IPR if what you say might have had any influence on where the group goes, even if it was indirect and vague, because someone might remember you saying something that led them to reach a conclusion in line with your IPR.) _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
