Re: [PP-DIALOG] FW: Letter on expanding the solicitation for public comments on IEEE-SA Patent Policy



Gil,

There is nothing clever about this FYI – it is NOT an input to PatCom on any of the options in the Solicitation, and it cannot be considered by PatCom in any way in this process.  When a group of IEEE members write a letter to the IEEE-SA President, they do not do so with a spreadsheet.  Do you write letters in spreadsheets?

 

Best regards,

 

Ron

Thanks Ron.  I will let others decide whether the distinction you are drawing is a bit too clever. One fact that they may wish to think about is the timing of the letter, which, coincidentally or not, was sent on the last day for input to the IEEE-SA BoG through the commenting process that (wisely or not, others can decide) required the use of a particular Excel template.

 

In the meantime, any of the signatories of the letter are free to identify their affiliations, and others are free to note the affiliations, to themselves or to this list.

 

Best regards,

 

Gil

Gil,

The group letter from IEEE members that I forwarded to the PP-Dialog was merely an FYI copy to the PP-Dialog subscribers.  It was originally emailed directly to its intended addressees, who may consider it as they wish, without your help or interpretation.  This was not a response to the PatCom Solicitation for public comments and should not be considered or treated as such, nor was it a communication that requires affiliation information.  As the letter indicates, it was sent on behalf of individuals simply as unaffiliated members of IEEE.

 

I hope this clears any confusion you may have had.

 

Best regards,

 

Ron Katznelson

Thanks Ron.  Can you provide employment and affiliation information for each of the signatories?

Dear Mr. Matthews,

On behalf of the individual IEEE members signed on this letter, I forward it to you in your official capacity at IEEE-SA. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are any questions, or when you have any information about whether, or when, the IEEE-SA intends to address our request in the letter.

 

Best regards,

 

Ron
