Joyce,

we do NOT want the RFC Editor to modify their procedures until the 
documents have been approved - until then, RFC 2026 is the governing 
document. The IPR WG intends to send these documents to WG Last Call after 
edits agreed in San Francisco have been incorporated - so they won't even 
be in IETF Last Call for some time yet.

The relevant documents are draft-ietf-ipr-submissions and 
draft-ietf-ipr-technology; I would appreciate it if you could check that 
the instructions to the RFC Editor in these documents are clear and 
reasonable.

Thanks for asking!
