Hi - In case you haven't been following the discussion, here's a helpful distillation by Marshall Eubanks: The WG Chairs have been asked to make their WG aware of this issue. This is a complicated subject, but the executive summary is that if you have an Internet-draft that quotes substantially from one or more older RFCs (ones with a publication date pre-November 11, 2008), and you did not write this earlier work yourself (or you wrote it while with another company), you need to be aware of the likely difficulty of obtaining RFC5378 clearances for your new work, and also to be aware that a work-around is on the way. The work-around should be in place to allow submissions to the San Francisco IETF well before the normal deadlines. Again, please direct any followup discussion to [email protected] Randy
