You're right on both counts. So (and addressing Randy's concern): Anything that you write, say, or discuss in the IETF, formally or informally, either at an IETF meeting or in another IETF venue such as a mailing list, is an IETF contribution. If you believe that any contribution of yours is covered by a patent or patent application controlled by you or an organization with which you are affiliated, you must disclose it or arrange for that organization to disclose it.
