Re: Copyright, Privacy, Confidentiality Statements on Submissions to the IETF

As I recall, we adopted that formulation because some poor souls
are hidden behind corporate mail systems that forcibly attach
boilerplate, and we didn't want to prevent such victims from
posting.

Russ,

See Section 3.2 of RFC 3978, last sentence:
"Each Contributor agrees that any statement in a Contribution, whether
generated automatically or otherwise, that states or implies that the
Contribution is confidential or subject to any privilege, can be
disregarded for all purposes, and will be of no force or effect."

Subject: Copyright, Privacy, Confidentiality Statements on Submissions
to the IETF


I have been seeing more and more email postings that have privacy or confidentiality statements at the bottom. I have not seen copyright on slides or email message. Maybe that is happening too.

The IEEE 802.1 opening materials included the following statement:

    * Copyright statements or privacy/confidentiality
      statements of any kind SHALL NOT APPEAR on
      any contributions to 802, either in emails or in
      presentation material

Does the IETF have a similar statement? If it is in our Note Well, then it is in one of the references.

Russ
