Re: Minutes for September Teleconference

Sorry to have missed the meeting, but again I had a conflict.  I still hope 
that eventually the string of (coincidental) conflicts will end, and I'll 
be able to meet the attendance requirement to be re-established as a 
member.  However...

Huh?

As I understand, OASIS still has not changed its proposed new IPR rules, 
despite numerous objections.  Specifically, the rule that prohibits 
participation by individual members whose IP is owned by an employer.

I am an individual member.  My IP is owned by an employer.  Therefore, if 
this proposed IPR rule stands, I will not be able to re-establish my 
voting-member status.

Have I missed something?  Did OASIS come to its senses and modify that 
stipulation?
