I'm hesitant to give such an opinion, as the issues with regards to
copyright, IPR may be interpreted differently by different folks, and
how they interpret the specific words in the relevant RFCs.
Having said that, I _think_ that you shouldn't have any issues, so
long as you disclose any IPR associated with the ID, which you seem to
be willing to do, as there already is a section in the document that
talks about IPR that has been applied for.
Also, am I correct in assuming that this is a Verizon-specific
document? That is:
- does this describe something that has already been deployed? If
so, by whom and how widely?
- Is this something that is Verizon-specific? Are other operators
using it (or planning on using it)? If Verizon-specific, it would
be customary to change the title to make this more clear.
Finally, this document seems to be of interest to folk in the Mobile
IP WGs. For example, the chairs have (or want) to review it and have
some questions comments on it. How interested are you in having the
document reviewed, e.g., in the mip4 WG? How willing would you to
update the document in response to commments? E.g., is this work
already finished and is there (in practice) no desire to update the
document, or would reviews be taken into consideration for a possible
revision?
