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><br>--David<br><br>----- "Brian Kissel" <<a href="mailto:bkissel@janrain.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">bkissel@janrain.com</a>> wrote:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="color: black; ">><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Guys, are we clear on next steps to move Nat’s 4 proposals on for a full membership vote and are those activities underway?
