We have some questions / suggestions relate to Ballot 157

 

¢Ù    According to section 4.3 and 4.4, we understanding that only if the
participant submit an Exclusion Notice in accordance with section 4.3, such
notice would be effective upon receipt by the CAB Forum Chair. does this
mean that Chair is the final decision make to such Notice, or that no one
would conduct material examination on such Notice, and once delivered, the
Notice would automatically be effective?

 

¢Ú    In 5.1 License Requirements. 

CAB Forum Royalty-Free License shall mean a non-assignable,
non-sublicensable (shall we add ¡°irrevocable¡± here?) license to make, have
made, use, sell, have sold, offer to sell, import, and distribute¡­..

 

¢Û    In 8.4 Transfer of Essential Claims

we suggest to add a clause that, "if any obligations for the participant
herein constitutes or may constitute in the future violations to laws of its
nation, the participant shall be exempted from such obligations."
