Re: IPR Disclosure: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York's Statement about IPR related to draft-ietf-nsis-tunnel-13

Dear all,

The authors of draft-ietf-nsis-tunnel have disclosed an IPR that affects 
the accepted, but not yet published, NSIS document.

We need guidance from the working group on how to proceed:

a) Do members of the WG accept those terms,
b) Do you want to redesign the protocol to work around the IPR,
c) Do you want to ask Columbia to modify the terms, or
d) Do we drop the document from the WG (authors can still pursue 
publications through the independent track)?

Items a) and d) let's us continue with the publication procedure (for 
item d) we just remove references to the work from the mobility 
applicability document). Items b) and c) will need considerable work and 
since the WG is closing, I would like to avoid them.

Please indicate your preference within two weeks, by Friday 17th at:
