(Personally, I don't think we have that problem.) It might be useful to ask Jorge to prepare a note about dealing with DMCA notices which are not court orders, but do require a response. Or since the DMCA has been in effect for 14 years and we have yet to get the first notice, we could save time and money drop the topic unless and until the issue arises. There are a whole lot of hypothetical threats that the IETF might have to deal with someday, or not. Life is not long enough to make plans for all of them. R's, John
