[cabfpub] Auditors and the IPR Agreement

[Pope, Nick]

I would expect a separate bi-lateral agreement between ETSI and CAB Forum once its exists as a legal entity for the exchange of information, updating the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).  This would not cover any IPR issues of Auditor’s auditing against the CAB requirements.

The questions would be: would they be bound by the WebTrust IPR ? I think not.

If KPMG made a statement about how they carry out tScheme audits (they are a tScheme-recognised assessor) – would that be covered under the tScheme IPR agreement ? What about if they said something about an ETSI audit – whose IPR agreement would that be under? NO – unworkable. They need to participate as themselves and, hence, follow the same process as other Members/Observers whichever they choose to become.

Subject: [cabfpub] Auditors and the IPR Agreement

WebTrust has not currently signed the IPR agreement, but I've heard from Bryan that he will do so shortly.  Is one IPR agreement from WebTrust sufficient to allow participation from employees of KPMG, Deloitte, E&Y, and Protiviti?

Thanks,

Wayne
