Successful DITA TC IPR Transition Ballot

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

To:  TC Qualified Members of the OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC 
cc:  Other TC members 

    The OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC has conducted a Transition Approval Ballot under the
rules provided by the OASIS IPR Transition Policy [1]. The ballot results are visible to OASIS members at [2]. The
ballot to apply the current (2005) OASIS IPR Policy to the TC's operations, and adopt the "RF on Limited Terms" IPR
mode, was APPROVED. As a result, the TC will start operating under that policy and mode on 20 March 2007, which is 14
days from the date of this notice. That date will be the TC's Transition Effective Date under the IPR Transition Policy.
This message is your Approval Notification under that policy.

    Please note: 

    1.  The obligations of OASIS members who serve as TC members under the 2005 OASIS IPR Policy [3] are different, in
some ways, from those under the prior policy. Please review the 2005 policy so that you are clear about the licensing
and disclosure obligations associated with the TC after the TC Transition Effective Date.

    2.  OASIS staff will announce the TC Transition Effective Date and the TC's new IPR Mode to members in the same
manner as a charter amendment.

Regards, 

Mary
