IPR Policy Update v1.5<br>
<br>
Description:<br>
One of the most important responsibilities of the OpenID Foundation is its
stewardship of intellectual property; maintaining and protecting OpenID
technical protocols as they evolve. &nbsp;We are asking the community to vote
on a revision to our IPR policy which provides information regarding companies
who are parts of larger holding companies or other legal entities (aka
&quot;Bound Entities&quot;). &nbsp;These are the only recommended changes to
the IPR policy at this time. &nbsp;The updated IPR document, with the draft
changes 'tracked', can be viewed here:<br>
