10.3.2. Standards Track Documents

   (C)  Where the IESG knows of rights, or claimed rights under (A), the
      IETF Executive Director shall attempt to obtain from the claimant
      of such rights, a written assurance that upon approval by the IESG
      of the relevant Internet standards track specification(s), any    
      party will be able to obtain the right to implement, use and      
      distribute the technology or works when implementing, using or 
      distributing technology based upon the specific specification(s)
      under openly specified, reasonable, non-discriminatory terms.
