Subject: [uddi-spec] Transition Approval Ballot for UDDI Spec TC

      I had hoped by now to start the web-based ballot for confirmation of the TC's request to transition to the current IPR Policy and the "RF on 
RAND Terms" Mode.   Our IPR Transition Policy instructs me to open a 
"Transition Approval Ballot" after the TC has voted (as you did on 26 July) to initiate a conversion.  However, there's some ambiguity in the information we've provided to members about when this is done and who votes.
      The FAQ circulated about IPR Transition [1] says that organizational members who haven't signed the current membership agreement [2] cannot vote in the approval ballot.  It also says that I should wait 30 days after your TC vote, before opening the ballot, presumably to give un-signed members a chance to "sign up" and thus vote.  However, the rule text itself [3] does not reflect that 30 day period or limitation.  Several members have asked, and I'm concerned that there may be some confusion.  Accordingly, I have asked our Board for clarification of its intent, and would like to postpone the beginning of the TC's approval ballot for a short time, in order to obtain it.
      If the 30 day rule applies, we could not begin the ballot any earlier than 26 August in any case, and I hope to have this clear by then.  Our apologies for the delay;  I hope you agree that it is preferable to discovering that the rule is incorrect in mid-ballot and having to close and re-start it.
     Best regards  Jamie Clark
