Re: [PP-DIALOG] IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee (PatCom) - December 2015 meeting minutes available online



I support John’s suggestion below (and made at the December 4 patcom meeting)
 
I understand it can be an administrative chore to capture comments and disposition of comments on documents under development by a committee ... For example John makes good points below about comments made at meetings.   It is my opinion in the case of developing  documents related to the patent policy  the transparency benefits outweigh whatever additional administrative effort is required.  Plus given the availability to IEEE of the comment and disposition tools  employed during the development of the patent policy itself, increased use of these tools  for other relevant documents might even facilitate  the work.
 
At the very minimum I  urge that the  PP-DIALOG@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  be used  to make available and to seek comments on relevant documents under consideration  by the patcom well in advance of  formal patcom meetings

I’m directing this message to David Law, as I’m assuming he remains the Chair of PatCom because I haven’t heard of any organizational changes that might be occurring for 2016.

 

I’d like to repeat my suggestion made at the December PatCom meeting that PatCom undertake a formal written comment process for the proposed new FAQs that were on the agenda for the December meeting (and that now appear likely to be on the agenda for the March meeting).  As there is no recordation of comments made orally at the actual meetings, it would be appreciated by Nokia if our opinions and suggestions -- if we have any -- could be preserved via some formal process.  Moreover, as the larger set of FAQs previously was opened up for a formal written comment process, it would be inconsistent to not do the same for the new additions.

 

Thank you for considering this request and good New Year wishes to all,

John Kolakowski
