Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Agenda: 17 May 2006



Hi,

On my action item  (5a), I spoke with IBM's OASIS coordinator (Michael Weiner).

According to Michael, everyone who began or renewed an OASIS membership during the year from April 2005 - April 2006, either corporate or individual, has agreed to be bound by the new IPR policy, requiring use of one of the three IPR modes.  If someone is an individual OASIS member working for an organization, and the intellectual property in play is therefore IP belonging to the organization, they were required to get signoff by the organization on the three IP modes in order to join/renew as an individual member. If you're working for an organization (corporate or non-profit or consortium) and your membership is covered under your organization's membership, your organization agreed to the three IP modes as part of renewing their membership this past year.

While on the topic, Michael mentioned that
- IBM would be comfortable with any IPR mode we choose for DocBook, including either of the 'royalty-free' IPR modes
- from his interaction with them, he thought HP might be more restrictive in preferring one royalty-free mode over the other
- everyone on the DocBook TC is already either an organizational or individual member under the new rules.(accepting the new IPR policy)

hope this is useful
