=====5.2.6 Working Group and Interest Group Charters=====
   "Intellectual property information. What are the intellectual
   property (including patents and copyright) considerations affecting
   the success of the Group? In particular, is there any reason to
   believe that it will be difficult to meet the Royalty-Free
   licensing goals of section 2 of the W3C Patent Policy [PUB33]?"
   This text is disconnected from reality. Our charters include
   boilerplate text about the Patent Policy and, on occasion,
   document licensing information. I believe the questions quoted
   above, while they may be considered while discussing the work,
   never result information actually included in the charter (which
   is what this bullet list is about).
   Proposed: Replace the bullet with:
    * Intellectual property information. Include information about
      the governing patent policy and document license.

   '''Discussion'''
   '''CMN:''' I disagree. The point of putting this into the requirements 
   was so that charters would provide information to members, instead 
   of them being asked to commit to something, unaware that e.g. some 
   important rights-holding organisation has privately insisted this 
   work be structured to make it easier for them to avoid participating.
   Failure to inform members of the relevant information - even at the 
   level of "we believe there are organisations who *claim* to hold 
   patents in this area" - seems at best irresponsible.
   '''IJ:''' Ok. I found the text confusing as written and it feels 
   like a header + short explanation + consolidation would go a long way.
   '''SZ Assessment''' The Patents and Standards Interest Group has 
   reviewed the text in question, has accepted it and getting a re-review
   is impractical at this point.
