No activity.

Rights Management

Dave G is working on an update to the recommendations to address the feedback from John. Dave G asked about drafting negative recommendations relating to control-block structures. Steven suggested drafting an End-user Recommendations white paper to seed discussions on material intended for IP Owners and Consumers.

Common Rights and Visibility

Dave raised his concerns on getting proposals in this space on the next few months. Steven noted that the Cadence donation contained a core set of rights that could deliver value through the common rights block. We also expect additional discussion from John to revisit his prior work on visibility.
