Only one comment. In the initial summary it says

"- Authors of new contributions SHOULD raise a flag when all of the text in their
  contribution did not come from them "

Actually, there is a very old requirement which 5378 continues
that contributions not from the named authors must (not should)
be acknowledged. I didn't hear a consensus in the BOF to change
that. Also, IMHO it's ethically the right thing to do.

The citations for this are section 5.6 (a) of RFC5378,
section 3.4 (a) of RFC3978 and RFC3667, and section 10.3.1 (4)
of RFC2026.

[Fwd: I-D Action:draft-carpenter-5378-old-text-02.txt]

This version of the draft describes a completely modified procedure
compared to the one presented at IETF74, which did not obtain consensus.
It contains small and large changes throughout.

Discussion is invited on the ipr-wg <at> ietf.org list.

Brian,

My reading of the rough consensus during and after IETF 74 was
not "no consensus for draft-carpenter-5378-old-text-01.txt,
please try again".  It was "accept the 'interim' Trust
disclaimer as permanent, without further attempting to tune
details, and stop" -- with the "decide we are done and stop"
part being important.

In addition, if Larry Rosen's theory is correct, this entire
discussion is immaterial.   To the best of my knowledge, we have
received no advice or instructions from the Trust or its Counsel
on that subject.  But, were advice to appear that we can call
rely on Larry's theory, we would also be finished and your draft
would be irrelevant at best and a serious distraction at worst.

It is possible that, despite that impression from IETF 74, there
are a significant number of active IETF participants who want to
pursue this.  If there are, I hope they will identify

Well, the intention of this draft, I think, is to say exactly
that, and to leave the rest to the Trust. I don't see how, when there's
a known gap in the BCP, we can fail to amend the BCP; a feeling in
a room in the SF Hilton doesn't do that. But basically, the intention
is to achieve exactly what you say.

Of course, there would be another form of amendment which simply says
