As far as I know, OMTP itself owns no relevant intellectual property  
for inputs in scope for the DAP WG. As such, my understanding is the  
above is not sufficient and that what the Consortium must require is  
a commitment from every OMTP member that contributed to any input  
submitted to the DAP WG.

Dom - is my understanding above correct?
