Re: [emergency] Successful Emergency Management IPR Transition Ballot

[Elysa Jones <ejones@warningsystems.com>]

Renato and others,  

The EM-TC has discussed the IPR transition of the TC in several calls
over the last 6 months.  Jamie has also been present to explain the
different modes.  We decided on the mode during a call when Mary
McRae of OASIS was on the call to answer any specific questions.  I
know there are several minutes that have not yet been published and will
look into that.  

We covered it again today just be sure everyone understood and it will be
documented in the minutes of todays meeting.  During our discussions
over the months, all TC members expressed an interest in keeping the work
of the TC as open and free as possible.  The choice the TC agreed to
is RF on RAND as described on the OASIS site at

http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php.  This mode
requires anyone submitting information to the TC that may have IP claims
to be fully disclosed as such to the group.  The group can then
chose to include it or not.  The consensus of the TC membership now
is that we would not accept any IP to be included in our work
products.  

I hope this helps and apologize for the meeting notes not being published
on this matter.  Thanks for your continued participation.

Sincerely,
Elysa Jones, Chair
OASIS EM-TC
