PatCom Meeting Agenda Item 5.1
Gentle-people:
Agenda item 5.1 on the PatCom agenda for next week (http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/306patagen.html) is entitled:
5.1 Legal Update - Topp
The intent of this agenda item is for IEEE Counsel, Claire Topp, to share some material of direct applicability to PatCom that was previously shared with the IEEE Standards Association Board of Governors (BoG) in executive session. In order to preserve the attorney-client privilege under which it was presented to the BoG, it will also need to be presented to PatCom in executive session.
Considering the logistics, we have arranged for another conference room for the members of PatCom to move to in order to hear this material. During this executive session, there will only be a presentation of the material and the handling of any relevant questions. PatCom will take no votes during this executive session.
Of course, those remaining in the main meeting room will continue to enjoy coffee, danish and a lively discussion among yourselves in the absence of PatCom.
Thanks in advance!
