Colleagues - Yngve pointed out that this motion did not contain the usual
information about the voting timetable.  I have corrected that on the Wiki
and copied it here.

A word of explanation: the rules require a minimum review period of five
days and a minimum voting period of seven days.  Normally, we provide a
review period of seven days and a voting period of seven days.  Because of
the time-pressure, I have set the minimum review period for this ballot.

Best regards.  Tim.

Motion:

John Espinoza made the following motion and Tim Moses and Jeremy Rowley
endorsed it:

... Motion begins....

The CAB Forum hereby suspends the IPR Agreement and Policy from going into
effect on August 1, 2012, as currently scheduled.

Such suspension will endure until such time as the CAB Forum's governance
revisions are complete.

Completion of the CAB Forum's governance revisions will be deemed to have
occurred in the event of a final, formal vote under the normal voting
procedures of the CAB Forum then in effect where such vote concludes in the
approval of a new Guideline for organization governance or other form of
organization governance reform agreement.

The ballot review period comes into effect at 21:00 UTC on 19 July 2012 and
will close at 21:00 UTC on 24 July 2012. Unless the motion is withdrawn
during the review period, the voting period will start immediately
thereafter and will close at 21:00 UTC on 31 July 2012. Votes must be cast
by posting an on-list reply to this thread.

... Motion ends....

A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes' in the response.

A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote to abstain
must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not
be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting
member before the close of the voting period will be counted.

Voting members are listed here:
