Art, I've cc'd both Rigo and Stefan here for clarification if necessary. The Turin Rules[1] require that all BONDI members and contributors make and abide by the W3C Royalty Free commitments either as members or non-members. The contribution that we have submitted as OMTP Limited is on behalf of the entire membership and their intent that the work be submitted under those terms. You are correct in stating that OMTP Limited itself does not own relevant intellectual property. This is again the reason that the rules were created in[1].

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? -Regards, Art Barstow
