Hi Dave, Sitting on both sides of this particular fence, I actually _don't_ think that we have a strategic disagreement about who would control (using that term in it's normal English sense) this activity. The document is very clear that the IETF makes the rules about how the IASA will work

IPR language in IASA BCP

In reviewing the IASA BCP I noticed a minor issue: S 2.2 and 3.1 refer to perpetual right to use, display, etc. The standard language here typically includes both royalty-free (or fully-paid up) and irrevocable. I would particularly think we want to specify that no future royalties are due. -Ekr
