Introduction BCP 101 [1] assumed that the vehicle for certain IETF-related IPR would be the Internet Society (ISOC). Since that time, an IETF Trust has been created to hold such IPR. This document appropriately updates BCP 101. [Note to be removed by the RFC Editor: This draft refers to the IETF Trust as already existing, although it had not been formally created at the time of writing. It is intended that this draft will be submitted for approval and publication shortly after the Trust is created.] Terms and abbreviations used in this document are defined in BCP 101. 2. Updates to BCP 101 A Trust ("the IETF Trust") has been formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding, maintaining and licensing certain existing and future intellectual property and other property used in connection with the administration of the IETF. The Trustees of the IETF Trust are the then current IAOC members, and the Beneficiary of the IETF Trust is the IETF as a whole. In its administration of IPR under the terms of BCP 101, the IASA, including the IAD and the IAOC, will consider the IETF Trust rather than ISOC as the proper entity for ownership and licensing of IETF IPR. 3. Security Considerations This document has no security implications for the Internet. 4. IANA Considerations This document requires no action by the IANA. 5.
