Ballot FORUM-022:  Establish Forum IPR Subcommittee

 

Proposed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and endorsed by Roman Fischer of SwissSign
and Clint Wilson of Apple.

 

Purpose of Ballot

 

The CA/Browser Forum’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy and
associated documentation were last revised in 2018. Since then, there have
been requests for clarification about application of the IPR Policy to
contributions of non-Forum Members, and sections of the IPR Policy and
documentation have been identified as needing amendment, including the form
for filing and handling of Essential Claim Exclusion Notices. It is proposed
that a Charter be adopted establishing a Forum IPR Subcommittee (FIPR) and
that the proposed scope of the FIPR be to update and improve the IPR Policy
and associated documentation and to discuss the following:

 

(a) How to address contributions provided by non-Forum Members (e.g.,
invited experts, guest speakers, researchers, etc.);

(b) If any clarifications and/or changes are necessary to the IPR Policy in
view of recent events; and

(c) A potential contributor license agreement for the Forum’s GitHub
repository and policy for contributing to the Forum’s GitHub repository.

 

Following the passage of this ballot:

*	A new Forum IPR Subcommittee will be formed under the CA/Browser
Forum, as outlined in section 5.6 of the Bylaws (Forum Subcommittees);
*	Mailing list(s), GitHub repository(ies), Wiki resource(s), and other
collaboration tools will be established as needed to enable the Forum
Subcommittee to fulfill its charter; and
*	The Forum Subcommittee will publish a set of recommended revisions
to the IPR Policy and associated documentation for the Forum to adopt.
