I like the idea of a brief summary that can be shown on one readable slide at the beginning of each session, read aloud by a meeting chair, etc. Wordsmithing below. On 6/21/12 4:10 PM, IETF Chair wrote: > If you write, say, or discuss anything in the IETF, formally or informally, > (all of which we call "a contribution") that you know is covered by a patent > or patent application you or your employer own, one of you must disclose > that. With all due respect, that sentence could be improved. I suggest: Anything that you write, say, or discuss in the IETF, formally or informally, at an IETF meeting or in another IETF venue such as a mailing list, is an IETF contribution. If you believe that a contribution of yours is covered by a patent or a patent application made by you or your employer, you must disclose it. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
