Re: Removal of IETF patent disclosures?

["Joel M. Halpern" <jmh at joelhalpern.com>]

I have to agree with a number of other folks.  Patent statements can not 
be removed.  It is probably reasonable to have a section for "apparently 
not currently relevant" disclosures.  But the disclosures, and the terms 
therein, are still active.  This is important for many reasons, 
including confirming what was historically relied on, having available 
information if a working group returns to an item, and other issues.

Adding annotations, and organizing information for simplicity and 
clarity are fine.  Removing information is not fine.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
