Successful International Health Continuum (IHC) TC IPR Transition Ballot

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

To:  TC Qualified Members of the OASIS International Health Continuum (IHC) TC 
cc:  Other TC members 

    The OASIS International Health Continuum (IHC) 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]; note that two
individual members were unable to cast ballots via the Kavi electronic balloting system and instead cast their votes via
email to the TC Administrator, who in turn cast proxy votes. 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 11 April 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
