Subject: RFC5378 issues

Just to repeat one of the things I said at the mic in the working group chairs session.

In XML2RFC, we now have another 7 values to the "ipr" switch. Apart from the names of those values, and apart from trying them and finding out what text gets produced, there is no guidance as to which values should be used in which case. It would be useful if someone from the ipr side (rather than the tools people) wrote a clear guide as to which ipr switch to use in which case.

Additionally to reraise something I raised a while back. 

Certain RFCs are designed to have text reused from them. These are the documents that generally tell people how to write another RFC to define a new URI, a new SIP event package or whatever. If we want to get rid of the disclaimer text these are key ones where we need to know whether the authors allowed reuse of their text under the new rules or not. Please can we have some targetting of the authors of these documents to get their permissions, and then record those permissions somewhere.

regards

Keith
