Hi all,
The Trust Legal Provisions v5 [1] says the following about the placement
of copyright statements:
6. Text To Be Included in IETF Documents. The following text must be
included in each IETF Document as specified below. The IESG shall
specify the manner and location of such text for Internet-Drafts. The
RFC Editor shall specify the manner and location of such text for RFCs.
The copyright notice specified in 6.b below shall be placed so as to
give reasonable notice of the claim of copyright.
Best regards,
Jean

I think this is not a policy issue and does not deserve RSWG time. It should be
an RPC issue.
The structure and format of RFCs is absolutely a policy issue. Imagine if the
draft instead said that the Security Considerations section always had to be
before the Introduction.
I also think it's totally wrong. It isn't fluff. By moving this important
information to the end, we would make it even less likely that people will read
it.
We disagree; I kinda like the idea.
Having said that, the proposal is for moving the fluff for both RFCs and I-Ds
to the end of the document. The RSWG cannot (as far as I can tell) make policy
for Internet Drafts.
