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

Output documents from the PatCom meeting
I have
updated the PP-Dialog Drafting Committee web page
(http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/pp-dialog/drafting-committee/index.html) with
the output documents from the September 12th PatCom meeting. Real-time
editing by myself and Dave Ringle were compared to insure all the agreed-to
changes were captured. In addition, I went through the comment database,
comment by comment, to make sure all the agreed-to changes were actually made.
These documents will be delivered to the Standards Board on Friday
with PatCom's recommendation.
