This seems like part of #3 - I suggest we close this and deal with it there...

[dwsinger]

Perhaps; but do we have any way to get an IPR and Copyright commitment from a non-member, independent of meetings and workshops? Is there a form we can ask them to fill in?

[wseltzer]

There's https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/83482/nmlc
(which team is working to modernize in implementation)

[dwsinger]

Doesn't sound like Meetings and Workshops (#3), though the issue comes up there.

[dwsinger]

Waiting for proposed text.

[dwsinger]

We do need a way to get a commitment from non-members of WGs (and maybe from non-members of W3C) when they make technical suggestions (fixes, improvements). This is active work in the team; suggest we defer process changes until the team has modernized practice.
