Greetings!  The purpose of this message is:

1) To advise you that the IETF Trustees are working to develop
   a policy for granting rights in IETF documents as required
   by draft-ietf-ipr-outbound-rights-06.txt
2) To invite your review and comment on a draft version of the
   policy, and
3) To announce that the Trustees have requested the IPR WG
   convene during IETF 72 to take comments on the draft policy,
   face to face, in Dublin; the IPR WG meeting is scheduled
   to meet starting at 13h00 local time on Thursday, July 31st.

The draft policy is available for your review in .doc, .pdf, and
.txt formats at: http://trustee.ietf.org/policyandprocedures.html. 
	
Policy areas covered by this draft document are as follows:

 1. Licenses to IETF Documents within the Standards Process
 2. Licenses to IETF Documents outside the Standards Process
 3. Licenses that are *not* granted
 4. License to Code Components
 5. Pre-Existing Documents
 6. License Limitations
 7. Text (i.e., "boilerplate") to be included in IETF Documents
	 
Please note that several portions of the text in the draft policy
are enclosed in <special> brackets. This is to signify text where
your thoughts and suggestions are particularly invited.
	 
The IETF Trustees would like to be in a position to formally adopt
a policy soon after the publication of RFC[ipr-outbound-rights] 
and RFC[ipr-inbound-rights].
	
Your input will be appreciated. Please use the IPR WG mailing list 
for all discussion and comments on this draft.
	 
Best Regards, and Thanks in advance, 

Ed Juskevicius      Ray Pelletier
Chair               Trustee
