STIX and TAXII v2.0 publication update

Dear colleagues:

This is a short update on completing the certification of STIX and TAXII v2.0 as OASIS Committee Specifications, after the recent successful ballot. As you know, the invocation of final patent licensing rights for the specs (under our IPR Policy) is triggered by CS status approval. As a result, OASIS staff is working to resolve and finalize the license issues quickly.

We are in active discussion with the stakeholders to the original DHS license (in spite of the summer holidays) to confirm what modifications if any can be quickly agreed and resolved to address license rules issues. These are licensing details that, from our perspective, should not affect your technical development at all; OASIS hopes to help make the terms as conventional, and the specs as widely acceptable in the open standards community, as is possible.

We expect to be able to wrap this up within a few weeks, but Chet and I will keep you posted, and you should feel free to direct any questions to either of us.

Cordially, Jamie

Members of the CTI TC,

As you can see from the forwarded message below, your ballot to approve STIX and TAXII as CSs has closed. The ballots garnered enough affirmative votes to pass.

As you have been informed separately, OASIS Staff is working to resolve the issue of special trademark license conditions and related "TM" symbols currently used in the specifications. Certification and publication of the specifications cannot begin until this is resolved.

Please let me or Jamie Clark know if you have any questions.

Best,
