Has anybody read the new policy? (it was linked in the home page
http://www.w3c.org)

I read it quickly, and I didn't understand everything.

Couldn't they simply require that all participants in a specification commit
to RF for their patents (whether they know them or not)?. The fact that a
search is not required and then a member can find a "rembrandt in the attic"
17 years after the recommendation is a bit unsetting. Or I misunderstood it?.
