    Hi folks,

    Here's an excerpt from a note from Tony Hammond on the IETF URI Review
    mailing list. Kind of chilling stuff is suddenly required to publish
    _any_ Internet-Draft. Serious IPR conflicts, I think.

            for more details.

    The message was only posted out to ietf-announce@ietf.org on June 17.

    For example, _all_ I-Ds now need to start off with this statement on IPR
    (bit odd because only the first person form seems to be allowed)

       By submitting this Internet-Draft, I certify that any applicable
       patent or other IPR claims of which I am aware have been disclosed,
       and any of which I become aware will be disclosed, in accordance with
       RFC 3668.

    Food for thought...

    Cheers,
