People tend to forget that you can pretty much do that IPR model in
the
IETF if you really want to.
Has anyone ever done so?
The PKCS standards were this way for a while, but I recently (last fe
years) assisted with transferring change control over.
Well, I guess I should have been more precise: Patent IPR you can
obviously retain and make a promise not to litigate; that's what the
whole IPR disclosure process allows you to do, and it's done all of the
time. Copyright IPR you do have to give up change control over if you
want it to be on the standards track. PKCS had all of its issues over
copyright IPR, not patent IPR, IIRC.
