For what it's worth, I'd like to write in general support of
re-evaluating several aspects of our patent policy. I 'm not quite
writing in support of rechartering IPR at this time. First, I think
they have critical copyright work to finish. Second, I think that we
need to find a way to have the

I would expect RAND charters to be issued rarely if at all. I would only expect
a RAND charter to issue if there was some overwhelmingly compelling IPR that
everyone agreed is simply indispensible.
