Hi folks, My
colleagues, in their initial look at the PatCom documents, found what we
believe to be an omission in the definition of 'Reasonable and Good Faith Inquiry"
in the ballot text of Bylaws. The
change was made to Hung Ling’s objection that, without the additional words,
the Submitter seems to be required to ask anyone in the world and it was agreed
to include the text in red below (“who are from, employed by or represent the
Submitter and”) in the Bylaws, page 2. From the output of the PatCom on 9/12/06: “Reasonable and
Good Faith Inquiry” includes, b 1 but is not limited to, a Submitter using 2 reasonable
efforts to identify and contact those individuals who are from, employed by or 3 otherwise represent
the Submitter and who are known to the Submitter to be current or past 4 participants
in the development process of the [Proposed] IEEE Standard identified in a
Letter of 5 Assurance,
including, but not limited to, participation in a Sponsor-Ballot or Working
Group. If 6 the Submitter
did not or does not have any participants, then a Reasonable and Good Faith 7 Inquiry may
include, but is not limited to, the Submitter using reasonable efforts to
contact 8 individuals who are from, employed by or represent the
Submitter and who
the Submitter 9 believes are
most likely to have knowledge about the technology covered by the [Proposed] 10 IEEE
Standard. What’s the
process for getting this text re-inserted? Rick -----Original
