<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi everyone, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As mentioned on yesterday’s call, I think the Forum should grant an exemption to the IPR for invited observers. Primarily, I’d like Entrust to have an effective way to participate in the IPR working group and
re-include both WebTrust and ETSI in the telephone and face-to-face discussions. Input from the auditors is essential in creating requirements that apply to all CAs. Similarly, the revocation working group has received significant contributions from academia
representatives. We’d like to continue receiving their insight.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Below is a proposed set of observer rules that permit an exemption to the IPR for limited participants. These rules and the observer role are temporary and are only intended to stay in effect until the Forum
has finished its governance reform. At that point, the adopted governance proposal’s rules on observers will take effect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m looking for additional input on the proposal and a second endorser.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
