<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

CA/Browser Forum Intellectual Property Rights Policy
includes the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
“2. Licensing and Disclosure Goals for CAB Forum Guidelines:
In order to promote the widest adoption of CAB Forum
Guidelines, CAB Forum seeks to issue Guidelines that can be
implemented on a Royalty-Free (RF) basis subject to the
conditions of this policy. CAB Forum will ordinarily not
approve a Guideline if it is aware that Essential Claims
exist which are not available on RF terms. CAB Forum Members
are encouraged to bring to the attention of the CAB Forum
any known patent or pending patent application of other
organizations that might contain Essential Claims.”<br>
<br>
In light of that goal, to better evaluate whether the list
of alternative methods for performing domain-control
validation in BR § 3.2.2.4 is adequate, in light of the
Forum’s IPR Policy, and to provide guidance to those who
will look to the Forum’s guidelines while seeking to comply
on a royalty-free basis: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span
style="font-size:11.0pt">All CAB Forum Members should
disclose any patent or patent application that the Member or
its Affiliates owns and any that it or its Affiliates has
the right to license without obligation of payment or other
consideration to an unrelated third party that would contain
Essential Claims with respect to any existing or proposed
method for domain validation currently listed in or proposed
for BR § 3.2.2.4, if such method were the only way to
fulfill the BR § 3.2.2.4 requirement. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

requested that the Member also identify to which of the
methods in the existing or proposed BR § 3.2.2.4 the
patent(s) would have Essential Claims. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In other
words, the Forum is asking that Members disclose any patent
or patent application that contains a method of domain
validation. The PAG is concerned about the number of
royalty-free methods available. The existing and proposed
methods for BR § 3.2.2.4 are set forth in an email to the
Public list from Kirk Hall, dated 10-Sept-2015 with a
subject line of “[cabfpub] Final Domain Validation Methods
pre-ballot for Forum consideration”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Finally, the
PAG will soon be circulating its summary of findings. Those
findings are in line with this Request and include two major
recommendations: (1) modification of the definition of
“Essential Claim” and (2) greater specificity with patent
claim disclosures. The findings will be discussed in
further detail at the upcoming face-to-face meeting in
Istanbul. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
