Subject: OASIS IPR Policy transition timing question for SOA RM TC
As you know, our current OASIS IPR Policy was adopted in April 2005
with a 2-year transition period, during which the OASIS TCs then existing
could choose when to convert from the old IPR Policy to the new one under
the OASIS IPR Transition Policy [1]. As we announced back in 2005 [2],
each TC has until April 2007 to select one of the new policy's three
licensing IPR Modes, and conduct the transition vote; or cease operations
if no transition vote is successfully completed by April 2007.
We'd appreciate it if you can confirm whether your TC has discussed
plans to convert. Could you please advise back to me whether your TC has
begun considering this, and if so, roughly when it's thought to be
likely? This is an informal inquiry: we are asking only for current
thinking, not a binding determination or TC member poll. The level of
answer we hope for is:
__ We haven't considered our timing yet.
__ We are considering starting a transition roughly in ___ [calendar
quarter] 2006/07
__ We probably will close before April 2007 and not convert.
If planning has not started, OASIS standards development staff will be in
touch to discuss your TC's plans, needs and timing between now and the
OASIS Symposium in San Francisco in May. Obviously we will be happy to
assist.
Thanks for your attention and assistance.
Best regards Jamie Clark
