Procedures for Rights Handling in the RFC IAB Stream
Abstract
This document specifies the procedures by which authors of RFC IAB
stream documents grant the community "incoming" rights for copying and
using the text. It also specifies the "outgoing" rights the community
grants to readers and users of those documents, and it requests that the
IETF Trust manage the outgoing rights to effect this result.

1. Introduction
As the IETF has grown, the process and the community have become more
careful about defining the rights relating to copying documents that
are granted by authors to the community, and the corresponding rights
that are granted by the community to readers and users of these
documents. The creation of the IETF Trust [RFC4371], with its
special role in managing intellectual property rights (IPR), has also
increased the need to be explicit about these rights and decisions.
This document defines the copyright procedures for RFC IAB stream
documents. It parallels the procedures for IETF-produced documents
defined in RFC 5377 [RFC5377] and RFC 5378 [RFC5378].
In summary, submissions in the IAB stream use the same submission
procedures and mechanisms that are defined in RFC 5378, and hence
require the same "incoming rights" as IETF-stream documents. This
document provides advice to the Trustees of the IETF Trust on
"outgoing" rights to be granted to readers and users of IAB stream
documents, and it explicitly requests the IETF Trust to manage the
rights in accordance with this advice.
This document also specifies the policies with regard to the
disclosure of Patents and Trademarks that may be relevant to a
submission intended for the IAB stream.
2. Background
The concept of RFC streams in general, and the IAB stream in
particular, is described in Section 5 of RFC 4844 [RFC4844].
Section 8 of RFC 4846 [RFC4846] presented the copyright rules for the
Independent Submission stream. The present document is intended to
Malis Informational [Page 2]
RFC 5745 Rights for the IAB Stream December 2009
be fully consistent with that section, and to update it by clarifying
the formal procedures that the IETF Trust will use to effect those
rules. In particular, it is the intention of this document to make
the copyright rules for IAB stream documents identical to those for
Independent Submission stream documents.
