Patent Policy

The Patent slides were offered for review.

No new claims were disclosed at the call for essential patent claims.

Comment and Open Issue review

Action Item triage

John recommended the open actions be updated so only the items relevant to the current standardization round are managed.

Visibility & Common Rights

MEC review changes

Need updates to clauses 1, 2, 3, A. John noted that his internal review recommended moving the common rights clause after the visibility clause.

Project Plan:

• Distribute D3 draft for liaison review in mid-February
  • Revised content for D3 must be submitted to Joe by 11-Feb-2013 [COMPLETED]
  • D3 to be distributed to liaison groups by 20-Feb-2013 [COMPLETED]
  • Any material that is still unstable should be tagged with an inline note to the liaison reviewers [COMPLETED]
  • Noted material should be revised for mid-review update as D3a by 25-Feb-2013 (delivery to Joe) [COMPLETED]
  • Any updated D3a clauses will be supplied to liaison reviewers by 01-Mar-2013 [COMPLETED]
  • Liaison review period to close by 12-Apr-2013

• Incorporate review comments into D4 draft for working group review
  • (Needs timeline review by Technical Editor)
  • Changes for D4 must be submitted by 09-Sep-2013 (delivery to Joe)
  • Working group review closes 30-Sep-2013 with a decision to approve D4 as the MEC review draft or revise further as D5.
  • MEC review requires 30 days and must be completed prior to ballot, initial target is 01-Oct-2013

• Balloting and review (Needs review by Technical Editor)
  • (Needs timeline review by Technical Editor)
  • Review comments (MEC and WG) need to be processed and relevant changes provided to Joe by 11-Nov-2013.
  • If D5 is approved as ballot draft by 25-Nov-2013, the ballot period starts 01-Dec-2013, we should be able to make the December REVCOM agenda
  • Ballot group formation to close before 30-Oct-2013 in preparation for possible D5 ballot.
  • Assumptions:
    • PAR extension will be approved
    • Need approval of D5 as ballot draft by 25-Nov-2013
    • 30-day ballot period requires a minimum of 45 days from working group approval of ballot draft
    • 10-day recirc period requires a minimum of 15 days from ballot comment disposition
    • Ballot comment dispositioning and incorporating draft updates accepted by the working group will add to the timeline
    • Current technical editing statement of work (contract and budget) will still be valid if D5 is completed and approved for ballot.
    • Additional unbudgeted editing work in 2014 would likely required an additional assessment of $2000 per entity.
