I naively thought that once an organization is being notified about a 
possible IP conflict, they MUST review in order to claim possible IP 
rights. Isn't this the process we follow at a specific WG level? What 
happens if a Member neglects to review a Maintenance Guideline and later 
finds out that they had IP rights that have made it into a Final Guideline?

Just curious :)
