significant shortfall in the vote re:<br>
the IPR process. &nbsp;Votes are needed now.<br>
<br>
Many members may not be aware of the very high bar set for changes of this<br>
sort. &nbsp;A bit of history may be helpful. The discussion at the time was
that<br>
the founding members had put a fair amount of effort into drafting the<br>
original documents and working out the necessary IP compromises, and they<br>
did not want modification to be too easy.<br>
<br>
As Nat suggests below there is a clear consensus that the proposed changes<br>
are critically important to meet current needs. I urge you to vote now.<br>

Thanks very much Don.<br>

We need to become able to spin up WGs much easier than now.<br>
This IPR process change enable us to do so.<br>
