Here is the meeting where I described what I had learned from Edurado
Gutentag on IPR modes:

<excerpt>

                  Farrukh provided a summary of the *IPR* Modes to
                  simplify the legalese. Farrukh credits *Eduardo*
                  Gutentag for explaining to him the legalese in plain
                  English: 

                      * Top level choices are Royalty Free (RF) and
                  Reasonable And Non Discriminatory (RAND)

                      * RF guarantees these implementors can use the
                  specs without ever paying anyone royalties

                      * RAND

                            o allows for royalties to be charged

                            o Everything is open to negotiations,
                  including royalties

                      * RF has two sub-choices

                            o RF on Limited Terms

                                  + Similar to W3C Patent Policy

                                  + Licensor (if any) cannot impose
                  negotiations or special terms on the licensee

                            o RF on RAND Terms

                                  + Similar to RAND but without any royalty

                                  + Licensor (if any) can impose
                  negotiations or special terms on the licensee 

Farrukh: The option that allows our hard work of many years to be most
broadly adopted is RF on Limited Terms. That will be my vote.

FWIW, my thinking has not changed on this since last December. Thanks.

BTW the original message
<http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:UA54zwqDMcMJ:lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200512/doc00002.doc+regrep+IPR+najmi+Eduardo&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3&client=firefox-a>

also contains some discussion on MTOM binding. I have an update on MTOM
binding that
I request 5 minutes on the agenda if time permits. Thanks.
