Member participants who think their organization may have patent claims to exclude should contact their Advisory Committee Representative. Participants made a Royalty-Free licensing commitment upon joining this Working Group. With the publication of this document, per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1] Participants have an opportunity until 5 February 2017 23:59 UTC to exclude patent claims reading on this Recommendation track document. Excluded claims are not subject to the licensing requirements of the W3C Patent Policy for this document.

Per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1], whatever draft is available on 7 December 2016 establishes the reference material [3] for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity. Just after 7 December 2016, we will send a reminder and identify the reference draft.
