Subject: [cabfpub] Ballot 157 Adopt version 1.2 of the Intellectual Property
Rights Policy

 

Ballot 157 - Adopt version 1.2 of the Intellectual Property Rights Policy 

The Patent Advisory Group (PAG) was convened to review potential issues with
the interpretation of the CA/Browser Forum's Intellectual Property Rights
Policy (IPR Policy). The PAG has completed its review of the IPR Policy, and
the PAG recommends that the Forum adopt the attached v. 1.2 of the IPR
Policy. Therefore, the following resolution has been proposed by PAG Chair
Ben Wilson of Digicert and endorsed by PAG members Scott Peterson of Google
and Virginia Fournier of Apple. 

-- MOTION BEGINS -- 

RESOLVED, that effective as of February 15, 2016 ("Effective Date") the CA/B
Forum IPR Policy v. 1.2 (the "IPR Policy") in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A is hereby adopted; and it is 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chair of CA/B Forum and/or his delegates are
hereby authorized to make corrections of any typographical, grammatical or
formatting errors in the IPR Policy and the IPR Agreement ("Agreement"),
attached hereto as Exhibit B; and it is 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the IPR Policy shall apply to all CA/B Forum Members
that are CA/B Forum Members on February 15, 2016, as a condition of their
continued Membership in the CA/B Forum; and it is

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Members have 30 days from the Effective Date to sign
the Agreement. A member's failure to sign and remit the Agreement will
result in a suspension of their membership rights. 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Members have 60 days from the Effective Date to
comply with the IPR Policy's disclosure requirements for all previously
enacted Forum requirements.

-- MOTION ENDS -- 

The review period for this ballot shall commence at 2300 UTC on 21 January
2016, and will close at 2300 UTC on 28 January 2016. Unless the motion is
withdrawn during the review period, the voting period will start immediately
thereafter and will close at 2300 UTC on 4 February 2016. Votes must be cast
by posting an on-list reply to this thread. 

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:  <https://cabforum.org/members/>

In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast
by members in the CA category and greater than 50% of the votes cast by
members in the browser category must be in favor. Quorum is currently nine
(9) members- at least nine members must participate in the ballot, either by
