Successful Emergency Management IPR Transition Ballot

To: TC Qualified Members of the Emergency Management TC
cc: Other TC members

The OASIS Emergency Management TC has conducted a Transition Approval Ballot under the rules provided by the OASIS IPR Transition Policy [1]. The ballot results are visible to OASIS members at [2]. The ballot to apply the current (2005) OASIS IPR Policy to the TC's operations, and adopt the "RF on RAND" IPR mode, was APPROVED. As a result, the TC will start operating under that policy and mode on 17 October 2006, which is 14 days from the date of this notice. That date will be the TC's Transition Effective Date under the IPR Transition Policy. This message is your Approval Notification under that policy.

Please note:

1. The obligations of OASIS members who serve as TC members under the 2005 OASIS IPR Policy [3] are different, in some ways, from those under the prior policy. Please review the 2005 policy so that you are clear about the licensing and disclosure obligations associated with the TC after the TC Transition Effective Date.

2. OASIS staff will announce the TC Transition Effective Date and the TC's new IPR Mode to members in the same manner as a charter amendment.

Regards,

Mary
