Might I also ask if it's worth looking at the work coming out of the OWF in this area w/r/t the Working Group process? As you suggest David, it's better to make these changes once.<div><br></div><div><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/open-web-legal/web/owf-final-specification-agreement---proposed-draft">http://groups.google.com/group/open-web-legal/web/owf-final-specification-agreement---proposed-draft</a></div>

As I said in a previous email, considering how much effort is designed into changing the IPR Policy or Process, I think it is worthwhile to do this once rather than multiple times this year. The two items which I know are currently being discussed which I would like to see rolled into this vote are:<br>
1) Drastically shortening or removing the notification period of a membership vote to create a new Working Group once the Specs Council has reccomended it.<br>2) Clarifying if a Working Group must produce an Implementor's Draft before a Final Draft given the IPR implications of not doing so.<br>
3) Resolving and adding language to allow organizations like MySpace AOL and Plaxo – who have corporate parents – to contribute to Working Groups.<br><br>I would thus ask that the Board re-charter an IPR Committee to resolve these issues as expeditiously as possible thus resulting in *one* membership vote to ideally approve all of these changes versus a series of votes over the course of the year. All three of these additional items are changes that have been discussed and many have proposals on the table.<br>

that the exact wording had to be done before beginning the 21 day notification,
so that was what I was asking Nat to provide when ready. I'm also working
with Refresh Media to see if we have an official mailing list for all members
we can use per the email from Mike Jones below. I'm sure Nat would love
to work with you for what goes on the OIDF homepage, Nat? Just trying to
keep this process moving per section 3.4 and the dialog below. </span></p>

<p>As to emailing the members, we need to email legal contacts
as well if the members provided them which I'm unsure how the membership tool
currently captures. We do however have legal contacts for many of
the companies that signed contribution agreements for working groups which the
ones I know of can be found in <a href="http://openid.net/ipr/Non-Assertion-Agreement/executed/" target="_blank">http://openid.net/ipr/Non-Assertion-Agreement/executed/</a>.</p>
