<hat wg-co-chair="on"> My co-chair has recused himself from WG chair issues related to this draft, for the obvious reason.
If I understood M. Moreau's message, he is not making any IPR claims against anything covered in Peter's current draft. Rather, he is: a) Suggesting that Peter incorporate an idea discussed in one of his own drafts; b) Claiming that he has an IPR interest in the idea he is suggesting that Peter incorporate into Peter's draft, c) Making some non-binding comments about what he might do in the future if his IPR claims are held to be valid, and d) Stating that he will file a formal IPR statement at some future date. With no disrespect to M. Moreau intended, and without expressing any opinion on the validity of M. Moreau's claims, the suggestion seems only peripherally related to the main purpose of Peter's draft, and I see no pressing need for the WG to dive into the IPR rathole without having even explored any other alternatives. Absent strong support from disinterested WG participants for having Peter's draft explore M. Moreau's putatively encumbered idea, I will direct Peter to decline M. Moreau's suggestion, at least until M. Moreau has filed his IPR statement and it is possible for a disinterested person to reach an independent opinion on the extent, relevance, and validity of M. Moreau's IPR claims. </hat> _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
