Dear subject draft authors and ANIMA WG: I am working on the document shepherd for draft-ietf-anima-brski-ae. Here are the IPR question. The chairs must have answers for a) in order to forward this work (authors may reply to chairs only). If any one happens to know (b), then please reply to the chairs as well. Thanks!
(a) We need for each of the drafts authors to make an IPR statement about the draft (before it can proceed). As applicable, for example: "I am not aware of any IPR against this document" [ Note: if some IPR that was declared against other IETF documents also applies against this document, it needs to be re-declared for this document.] (b) Dear ANIMA WG participants: if any of you has IPR knowledge against this document, now would be a good time to bring it up. The IETF IPR rules do ask you to do so: https://www.ietf.org/standards/ipr/ "During the standards process any IETF contribution covered by patents or patent applications owned by a participant or their sponsor must be disclosed, or they must refrain from participating." Aka: The only difference between authors and participants is that participants do not need to report that they are no aware of any IPR. In general, you should not be unaware of IPR with your name on it. Currently, there are no IPR disclosures against BRSKI-AE, so there is now of course good time to check this voluntarily.
