Peter,

I'm familiar (one might say *too* familiar) with the IPR rapids that W3C and OASIS continually attempt to navigate.  The previous OASIS policy was found to be insufficient; hence, the new one.  If you believe the Ontolog policy covers enough ground, I would drop the reference to the OASIS deprecated policy.

Ken,

[KL]  To which
of the three choices I listed in my previous email do our processes point?

[ppy]  that would be your: (1) refer to the policy in place when
Ontolog was reconstituted.
The clarification I put in pegs the default to the OASIS IPR Policy in
place as of 23-Sep-2002.

[KL] Also, the OASIS IPR policy requires "At the time a TC is chartered, the
proposal to form the TC must specify the IPR Mode under which the Technical
Committee will operate."

[ppy]  I believe this is only put in place (by OASIS ... Jamie, or
someone familiar with this, please correct me if I got it wrong) AFTER
OASIS has offered a choice of IPR modes (which wasn't in place until
after 23-Sep-2002.)

Anyhow that is moot because, Ontolog ONLY defaults to the OASIS policy
and process IF there is no clearly specified ONTOLOG policy and
process, but we (Ontolog) actually do have a clearly specified IPR


Thanks & regards.  =ppy

Ontolog declare under which mode it intends to operate?  If not, it is
unclear which parts of the OASIS IPR policy come into play.

Thank you very much for pointing that out, Ken.

I will make the following clarification, changing the bullet in question -

To:
  "when in doubt, IPR matters relating to the [ontolog-forum] default
to the OASIS IPR policy (effective as of 23-September-2002; in
accordance with the processes defined in our reconstitution of
September 2002.)"

From:
  "when in doubt, IPR matters relating to the [ontolog-forum] default
to the OASIS IPR policy (in accordance with the processes defined in
our reconstitution of September 2002.)"

Thanks & regards.  =ppy

 Note that OASIS revised its IPR policy effective 1 October 2005.  See
clear whether we (1) refer to the policy in place when Ontolog was
reconstituted, (2) explicitly acknowledge the current policy, or (3) default
to changes in the OASIS policy as these become effective.
