As indicated below, we are in the process of forming a PAG which so far will consist of the following members:

 

1.       Ben Wilson, Jeremy Rowley – Digicert

2.       Rich Nordgren and Barrie Rody – representing Symantec

3.       Gerv Markham, Jishnu Menon – Mozilla

4.       Mat Caughron – Apple

5.       Jody Cloutier – Microsoft

6.       Scott Peterson, Ryan Sleevi – Google

7.       Bruce Morton – Entrust

8.       Carolyn Oldenburg – Globalsign

9.       Stephen Cannavale – Comodo

10.   Kirk Hall – Trend Micro

 

Recipients not on the Public list have been bcc’d.

 

We need to do 2 things first:

1.       Set up a mailing list. Wayne-Can you setup a PAG email list? I’ll be happy to administer it.

2.       Choose a date for the first meeting. I’d like to propose one of the following dates: Monday July 20th 2pm EST, Friday July 24th, 12pm EST, Monday Aug 3rd (anytime). 


Please respond to ME ONLY with dates/times you can attend from the list above and I’ll organize our first teleconference.  An agenda will be distributed ahead of time.

 

Thanks,


Dean Coclin
CA/B Forum Chair

Subject: [cabfpub] Call for PAG members

 

As discussed on today’s call, the Forum is requesting volunteers from its membership to serve on the Patent Advisory Group (PAG). The following already volunteered:

 

1.       Ben Wilson – Digicert

2.       Rich Nordgren and Barrie Rody – representing Symantec

3.       Gerv Markham – Mozilla

4.       Mat Caughron – Apple

5.       Jody Cloutier – Microsoft

6.       Scott Peterson – representing Google

 

According to the IPR Policy, section 7, the PAG volunteers will elect a chair. This will be done at the first meeting.

 

PAG participants are limited to CA/B Forum Members. Are there any other members who would like to join the PAG? Please respond by July 17th. 

 

Once all the volunteers are made known, I will call an initial PAG teleconference.



Thanks,


Dean Coclin

Subject: Request for the formation of a Patent Advisory Group

 

As the Validation WG works to resolve the security issues of the Baseline Requirements’ “any other method” exception (v1.3.0, Section 3.2.2.4, item 7), we’ve been doing our legal review for any issues that might be raised by the draft proposals. As a result, we’d like to bring members’ attention to an IPR Policy interpretation issue that we have noted, and we would would like to request the convening of a PAG (as described by Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the IPR Policy).

We propose a PAG, not to discuss a concern flowing from any particular patent, but to avoid possible patent-related misunderstanding. In particular, it could be useful to make sure that CAB Forum members share a common understanding of application of the IPR Policy to the kind of requirement that is expressed in Section 3.2.2.4 (a list of alternative methods for satisfying the specified requirement), and to make sure the Forum has the patent-related transparency that those who read a Forum document may have come to expect based on the Forum's royalty-free policy.
