Asking this question at the end of the process after the conformance with BCP 78 and BCP 79 was explicitly declared with each version of the I-D submitted seems redundant. On the other hand, I believe there have been cases in which asking this question resulted in disclosures that might not otherwise have been posted. Redundancy in this case doesn't seem particularly costly or otherwise onerous and, in my opinion, has proved valuable in the past. - Ralph > It is probably intended to cover some corner cases where contributors forgot particular disclosures, or disclosures happened after the last I-D revision was submitted, or some of the authors on the authors list were not involved directly in the latest submitted revisions of the I-D. As WG chair however, as long as the question is formulated under its current format in the shepherd write-up form, I feel that I cannot responsibly answer to it without asking the authors. > > To quote Gonzalo: Responding with a "yes, per the draft's boilerplate" should take only a few seconds > > Regards, > > Dan > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Gonzalo Camarillo [mailto:Gonzalo.Camarillo@xxxxxxxxxxxx] >> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 3:04 PM >> To: Glen Zorn >> Cc: Romascanu, Dan (Dan); Qin Wu; draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr- >> qoe.all@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Shida Schubert; rai-ads@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; The >> IESG; ietf@xxxxxxxx >> Subject: Re: IPR Disclosures for draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-qoe >> >> Hi Glen, >> >> as I mentioned in another email, that question is just a reminder.
