Fw: Process questions for WSRM TC

["iwasa" <kiwasa@jp.fujitsu.com>]

All,

I had the following action item today's telecon:
> Action: Jacques to consult OASIS staff about IPR discussion. - Open  Iwasa
will distribute mail from OASIS staff.

Here is the e-mail from Jamie.
I believe the concern is resolved.

Thanks,

Iwasa
