<p class="MsoNormal">We have received a number of questions about who must sign and return the new CABF IPR Agreement v1.3. The short answer is –
<u>everyone</u> who wants to continue to participate after the deadline of July 3, 2018. See the highlighted sections below of the recent Ballot 206 which adopted the new IPR Agreement v1.3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This means that <u>Members, Associate Members, and Interested Parties</u> all must execute and return the one-page agreement sheet to the Forum chair (that’s me) at
<a href="mailto:kirk.hall@entrustdatacard.com">kirk.hall@entrustdatacard.com</a> by July 3. I will upload the new agreements to the wiki for future reference.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can download the IPR Agreement v1.3 and the one-page agreement sheet here – only the one-page agreement sheet needs to be signed and emailed to me.<o:p></o:p></p>
