[Fwd: Re: Your PKI TC IPR Transition - What is happening?]

[Arshad Noor <arshad.noor@strongauth.com>]

Folks,

My apologies for having delayed on this, but I was under the
misconception that we could do this through an electronic
ballot directly.  I understand that a majority of the TC must
first come to a consensus on the type of IPR policy this TC
wishes to be governed under before we can setup a ballot.

Here are the 3 IPR modes (from 
http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php):

    1. RAND - requires all Obligated Parties to license their Essential 
Claims using the RAND licensing elements described in Section 10.1.

    2. RF on RAND Terms - requires all Obligated Parties to license 
their Essential Claims using the RF licensing elements described in 
Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.2.

    3. RF on Limited Terms - requires all Obligated Parties to license 
their Essential Claims using the RF licensing elements described in 
Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.3.

I personally prefer #2.  Can we get an idea of where the others stand?
Just send an e-mail response to this list indicating your preference
and we'll collate it, determine the consensus and setup the ballot.  Thanks.

Hi Arshad,

Time is running out for PKI TC to transition to the new IPR. As the chair
of the TC, please discuss with your TC members about the IPR, set up
an internal ballot for your TC to agree on what mode of IPR the TC is
going to operate under and get the consensus. Then request Mary McRae,
OASIS Administrator to setup a formal ballot for IPR Transition. This has
to be done by end of January to avoid the TC from automatically closing down
end of march 2007.

Regards,

Ram
