In my understanding it's very easy. The ballot has passed. Nothing needs 
to change in the member's tool or the spreadsheet. These tools serve a 
different purpose, to capture the Member's votes and give the result.

The IPR clearance and publishing of the updated guideline is a separate 
process.

There is no such option in the Bylaws. The votes are not rescinded 
because of an essential claim. The Bylaws have provisions for this 
situation which has happened at least once in the past. Which part of 
the Bylaws or the IPR Policy is not clear to you for the situation we 
are currently in?

As a reminder:

  * Bylaws, IPR Policy and procedural questions/interpretations/possible
    changes of those documents must be discussed at the Forum's public
    mailing list (public at cabforum.org).
  * If the Forum-level decides on certain tooling updates, the
    implementation can be further analyzed/discussed at the
    infrastructure SC.
  * The specific PAG or IPR discussion must happen at the corresponding
    WG, not the Forum-level and certainly not at the infrastructure SC.


Thanks,
Dimitris.
