Re: [docbook-tc] IPR Transition Deadline rapidly approaching

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ "Grosso, Paul" <pgrosso@ptc.com> was heard to say:
| I would like to propose that we open the IPR transition
| issue by asking if there are any objections to going
| with OASIS' standard RF option.

That's "RF on Limited Terms"

| If there are objections, those objecting can start an
| email discussion about it.

I don't expect any, but if you object, now's the time to say so.

| If there are no objections, we can task someone (Norm?)
| to draft the necessary documents offline, and then we
| can vote on them.

Can do.

Looking at Question 4 in the FAQ[1], I see "Step 1":

  Step 1:

     At least fifty percent of the represented Organizations and
     Individual Members serving as TC Participants sign the new OASIS
     Membership Agreement. (Members will have access to information on
     which TC Participants have completed the agreement, so that
     everyone involved is aware of the upcoming mode selection.)

Mary, can you tell us if we've reached the 50% level already?

| There is nothing I'd like to avoid more than wasting
| telcon time talking about IP issues.
