    Hi Lee,

    It applies to _all_ editors listed on the cover page.

    Contributors are not covered, but _are_ subject to the
    same IETF IPR provisions of RFC 3667/3668. Which means
    that contributors are _personally_ responsible not to
    contribute anything that has applicable IPR without
    declaring it at the time of their initial contribution.

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    I wonder if the "I" is limited to the submitter, and/or the author,
    and/or the contributors.

    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.

    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...
