[802SEC] FW: [802SEC] Proposed 802 Chair's Guideline Pertaining to Patents Etc.

["Carl R. Stevenson" <wk3c@WK3C.COM>]

802.22 participants and EC members,

I have received a number of comments/complaints about the amount of meeting
time that the "expanded" Patent Policy and Anti-trust slides require and the
repetitive nature of the presentation thereof (802 opening plenary/Joint
Wireless WG opening plenary, WG opening plenary, TG meetings, etc.).

Thanks to the 802.22 ad hoc leaders who have been including a link to the
slideset in their weekly conference call agendas and reminding participants
in each call that our activities are governed by those policies.

As a member of the IEEE-SA Board of Governors ("BoG") I had already
requested some time for discussion on the agenda of the upcoming BoG meeting
next week, with the goal of seeking some guidance on how many times the
slideset needs to be presented, when I received the attached message from
the Chair of 802.11 to the 802 Executive Committee.

I will take the contents of the attached document into account in the
discussions at the BoG next week, but would also welcome any additional
comments/suggestions from members of 802.22 and/or the 802 EC (on behalf of
your WG members) that you may have regarding the proposals in the attached
document.

Regards,
Carl

802 EC Colleagues.

Paul Nikolich has asked me to forward the attached document to you all in
advance, regarding the proposed addition to his 802 Chair's Guidelines that
would pertain to the IEEE patent policy etc, within 802.

At Paul's request I have been working with David Law and the following folks
at the IEEE namely, Dave Ringle, Karen Kenney, Michael Lindsay, and Claire
Topp. We have now reached consensus within this group and with this Paul
will present for information and discussion at the opening EC meeting during
our San Francisco meeting.

May I respectfully suggest that you review the document in advance and bring
your comments and suggestions with you and make them when Paul presents.

On behalf of Paul, thank you for your consideration.

Regards

/ Stuart
