Thank you very much for the advice, John. (01)
I am forwarding this to the [oor-forum] and will make sure these
suggestions are considered when it comes time for the OOR folks to set
their IPR policies. (02)
Thanks & regards. =ppy

The crucial consideration for IP rights is to clarify
patent ownership. Every IT standards group has explicit
policies on that point. For ISO, it's very clear: any
working paper that any expert or member contributes to
a working group grants ISO the right to use that material
in any way that any working group desires. Any prior
patent or copyright encumbrances must be clearly identified. (08)
Any citation used in the standards process is always to
a working document #xxxxx, and *never* credited to any
individual by name. Document #xxxxx might have the name
of the author(s) who wrote it, but those people are *never*
credited with their contribution in any standard document
that may be produced. A standard might have a list of
published references, usually other standards, but they
never cite working documents. (09)
There are people on this list who know much more about
ISO policies than I do, and they could point to the exact
wording. I suggest that we adopt one of the policies used
by ISO or some similar organization. (010)
