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
