Technical Summary
The disclosure process for intellectual property rights (IPR) in
documents produced within the IETF stream is essential to the accurate
development of community consensus. However, this process is not
always followed by IETF participants. Regardless of the cause or
motivation, noncompliance with IPR disclosure rules can delay or even
derail completion of IETF specifications. This document describes
some strategies for promoting compliance with the IPR disclosure
rules. These strategies are primarily intended for use by area
directors, working group chairs, and working group secretaries.
