Title: RLTC General Body Meeting Agenda and Logistics 12-11-02

Hello Everyone:
The following are the logistics for the RLTC General Body 12-11-02 meeting:
Date: 12-11-02
Time: 5:00 - 6:00 PM ET
Dial in information :
Conference Call Number (Domestic and International): 405-244-5555
Passcode: 6921#

There was a question on the OASIS IPR Policy. I have asked Karl Best to attend the meeting to review the OASIS IPR Policy (http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.shtml) again. I am not sure of his availability since there may be a conflict with the XML conference in Baltimore. If he is not available, I would like to defer any questions on the IPR Policy to a future meeting when he can attend. People are also more than welcome to address questions on the OASIS IPR Policy directly to Karl.

I would also like to reiterate Karl's 12/03/02 email on the analysis of IP (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/rights/200212/msg00006.html):

Karl: "...
3. I believe that it is beyond the expertise and outside of the scope of
the TC to declare whether a company's patent is applicable to the work
of the TC. That said, I understand that any TC member and/or his/her
employer may be interested in knowing if an outside patent is applicable
before spending time and effort in developing a specification that may
be encumbered by the patent. But this is a decision that must be made by
the individual or his/her employer and cannot be made by the TC.
..."

Please note that this is the last meeting for this year. We have cancelled the 12-25-02 meeting. Our next meeting is scheduled for Jan 8, 2003.

Regards,
Hari
