Martin Where does the "note well" say that any contribution needs to be readable 10 years hence ?
It says that if you submit/say something that it is under the IPR stipulations, and it says that the participant is deemed to have accepted rules of practice including that what is said/submitted may be made public. It does not say that everything that I say in a session must be transcribed and saved in ASCII, and what I present in slides is no different from what I say.

You seem to not understand this: http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html It definitely *IS* highly important that this information is readable in 10+ years. I do know that there are folks whose primary purpose is to produce pretty slides to impress bigwigs during a short span of attention, and where it a regular custom that the slides become entirely useless after the meeting. In the IETF, however, there is an important difference with information being published, going on public record, and becoming an IETF contribution. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
