  We should respond to this to see if these can be aligned.

Similar aims but different constructs. Draft subject to change,
opportunity for alignment.
Is an XML standard for banking.

ACTION 04-08-23-1: [Nick/Trevor] Draft response.

9. IPR Issues
-  New OASIS IPR rules

Nick - might want to release under existing rules the work done to date.
Frederick - supportive of this since people have been working under the
current policy. 

Concern of need of speed of transition to new policy - clarification,
first the policy has to become official, then members have to sign new
membership agreements, then the TC has a lengthy transition period time
(draft has 9 months) to allow decision to switch to new policy. Thus
specifications that are close to standardization can go out under
existing policy.

Member comments on new IPR policy should be sent to
ipr-member-review@lists.oasis-open.org.

- Patent of possible significance to DSS
   See http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/dss/200408/msg00012.html

Nick - Forms submission system that goes through notary. No mention of
any signature being applied.

ACTION 04-08-23-2: [Nick] - will post reference to this patent on the TC
IPR declaration page.

10. Any other business 

11. Confirm date of next conference call
