RE: [security-services] Proposed wording for IPR standing rule

["Philpott, Robert" <rphilpott@rsasecurity.com>]

I assume that we should go ahead and send the updated charter to Karl for
OASIS distribution.  As discussed at the meeting today, since the standing
rules are not part of the charter, we don't need to wait for them to be
approved by the TC before getting the charter approved by OASIS.  At least
that's my interpretation.

Are there any reasons to hold off sending the charter to Karl?
