Dear All,
At the outset, I must assert that, my commitments are for "open" methodologies and as such I have no claim on the expertise pertaining to the IPR.
I wish the statement has a positive start.
The IETF community develops the technical policies published in RFCs. To prevent ownership disputes over the content both IANA and the IETF have agreed to dedicate any applicable copyright rights to the public domain using the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 dedication.
Quick Notes for Point #3.
IETF RFCs were not published "commercially" in the traditional sense of being sold as proprietary products. Instead, they were, and continue to be, freely available to the public.
While individuals or companies can download, copy, and distribute unmodified RFCs for any purpose under the
IETF Trust's TLP license, the IETF maintains strict control over modifications to preserve the integrity of the historical record and the standards process.
How does the ICANN -> IETF Trust -> ICANN impact this ?
Specifically: "Characterising the IETF Through the Lens of RFC Deployment"
Please read the attached paper with the above title.
My suggestion on this point is note in the Google Doc.
Sincerely,
Gopal T V
