[Ben Wilson]

Because the potential for abuse of IPR held by standards bodies and regulatory bodies is substantially less than when that IPR is held by competitors?

On 10/19/2012 12:30 AM, From Ben Wilson: 

A representative of standards body or a regulatory body that is directly involved in standards-setting, auditing, or the regulation of  public key infrastructures may participate in CA/B Forum teleconferences, meetings, and the management at cabforum.org email list, with the right to speak, present proposals, access the Forum’s wiki pages, and participate in drafting without being required to sign the IPR Agreement.


I understand that such organizations can and do hold IPR that could be made part of requirements standards and guidelines such as the BR and EV. I'm not entirely sure why specially such organizations should be exempt from signing the IPR?
