[#2702] Successful UBL IPR Transition Ballot

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

To:  TC Qualified Members of the Universal Business Language (UBL) TC 
cc:  Other TC members 

 The OASIS UBL 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]. 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
24 October 2006. 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
