We have had good discussions of outstanding IPR Policy issues on our CABF teleconferences, but it has taken a lot of time, and as a result we have not been able to discuss other issues.
On our most recent call on Nov. 10, Dean Coclin suggested we create an IPR Policy Committee (I'd rather call it a Task Force) to consider possible clarifications and/or revisions to our current IPR Policy and/or Bylaws, and others agreed. I will shortly send a meeting invitation to the entire members list setting a time for this new IPR Policy Task Force. Following discussion with Ben and Dean, it appears the best time to schedule this call is at the same time as the current Governance Change Working Group (Tuesdays at 9:00 am Pacific,12:00 Eastern, 5:00 pm London), but on opposite weeks. That means the first call of the IPR Policy Task Force will be on November 29, and will recur every two weeks after that. I'd like to ask Ben Wilson and Virginia Fournier to be the initial co-chairs for the first meeting, and to develop a meeting agenda with options for consideration. The Task Force can choose other co-chairs at the first meeting if desired. If you have suggestions for the first agenda, please email Ben and Virginia.
