[802.3_NGBASET] P802.3bz 2.5/5GBASE-T TF ArchAdHoc meeting & updated IEEE-SA patent policy



Folks,

Until advised otherwise, I'm going to assume that we will be running under the same rules for AdHocs as Mark Nowell (Thanks Mark) outlined below for P802.3by.

The relevant slide set is at https://development.standards.ieee.org/myproject/Public/mytools/mob/slideset.ppt.

If you plan to attend the meeting tomorrow, please review the updated slides ahead of time so we don't have to do it live.

Regards
Peter

Dear P802.3by Task Force members,

As was discussed at the Berlin 802.3 plenary meetings, the IEEE-SA has updated its patent policies.  Details  are below.

These updated Patent Policy slides will be reviewed at upcoming Task Force meetings as usual.  For our ad hoc meetings we do not usually review these slides but request whether everyone is familiar with them and review if necessary.  In preparation for the upcoming ad hoc meetings, would you please review the updated material below.

RegardsŠMark

Subject: IEEE-SA Patent Policy

Please note that updates to the IEEE-SA Patent Policy (Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws) will become effective on 15 March 2015. See http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/approved-changes.pdf, which shows the text of Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws as it will appear once the patent policy updates are enacted.
 
Please also see the 'IEEE Statement Regarding Updating of its Standards-Related Patent Policy' at http://www.ieee.org/about/news/2015/8_february_2015.html.
 
You should be aware that the conduct and responsibilities of participants within IEEE standards development groups, including the Call for Patents process (as discussed in IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual 6.3.2 [see http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/opman/sect6.html#6.3.2]) and the Antitrust and Competition Policy [see http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/antitrust.pdf], have not been updated. This means that the normal practice for conducting working group (standards development) meetings has not changed.
 
There are various patent materials available from http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html. The necessary items will be updated. I will send another communication to you on (or just after) the effective date of the patent policy updates, to let you know which items on the patent materials web page have been updated.
 
If you have any questions, please address them to patcom@xxxxxxxx

Regards,
