[Kirk Hall]

See inquiry below.  Can we add a provision to our updated IPRA allowing a party (member, interested party, etc.) to withdraw?

Hi Kirk,

Our counsel is asking how we could terminate the CAB Forum IPR Policy Agreement in the future, if we decide to no longer be an Interested Party?

We understand of course that this wouldn't relieve us of any prior obligations, but it appears that we're going to have to involve outside patent counsel for each and every review period (which may be costly).

Can we just add something to the effect of "Either party can terminate this agreement at convenience with 30 days notice."?

Thanks,
Patrick

That’s the full IPR Agreement.  You should sign and return just the one page form from here:

Thanks.  Did you want to participate in the all-day Validation Working Group meeting on Tues. March 6?

Hi Kirk,

Is this the correct form? https://cabforum.org/wp-content/uploads/CABF-IPR-Policy-v.1.2.pdf.

Thanks,
Patrick

The CA/Browser Forum’s Bylaws at Section 2.3(c) allow the Forum Chair (currently me) to invite Interested Parties to participate in Working Group meetings.

At the suggestion of Wayne Thayer and Tim Hollebeek, I hereby extend an invitation to Forum Interested Parties to participate in the regularly scheduled teleconference call on Thursday March 1, 2018 at 11:00 Eastern (60 minute call).  The purpose of the call is to prepare for the all-day Validation Working Group meeting the following week on Tuesday, March 6.

If you are interested, please notify Wayne or Tim [wthayer-at-mozilla-dot-com or tim-dot-hollebeek-at-digicert –dot-com] and they will provide you with dial in instructions.

One other reminder: anyone who wants to become an Interested Party must first sign and return our IPR Agreement v2 (the form can be found on our website at https://cabforum.org/ipr-policy/) at least one week before any teleconference or meeting can be attended – there is no day-of-meeting sign up.  The reason for this is, we have to verify and upload the agreement before any Interested Party can begin to contribute.

This means that all signed IPR Agreements from new Interested Parties must be received no later than Tuesday, Feb. 27 if you want to participate (in person or remotely) at the March 6 Validation Working Group meeting.

Thanks for your interest.

Kirk Hall, Chair
CA/Browser Forum
