[wss] Please add "WSS IPR statement clarification" to the Dec 11-12F2F agenda

[Frank Siebenlist <franks@mcs.anl.gov>]

Could you please add "WSS IPR statement clarification" to the agenda?

It has been 4-5 weeks since I asked the submitters for clarification of some of the T&Cs in their WSS IPR statement.
("http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200211/msg00067.html";)

I understand that in general, lawyers are unable to give quick answers, but I was hoping to at least get an update on the status of 
the answers to my questions...

 From the private communications that I received, I have the feeling that a number of organizations and companies are somewhat 
uncomfortable to contribute to the WSS effort while the IPR statement isn't clear.

We would already be satisfied if we could we get an informal, oral statement in layman's terms about the "intent" of the IPR 
statement at the F2F meeting.

Thanks, Frank.
