Re: Call for participation: GPU for the Web Working Group switching to Patent Policy 2020

Hi all,

A quick addendum. I thought that this would be transparent but, due to 
the switch, the IPR repository manager is going to consider everyone who 
has not yet rejoined the group as "potentially hostile" (meaning as not 
having sign-off the new Patent Policy) and flag pull requests 
accordingly. Please work with your Advisory Committee representative to 
rejoin the group and get back to a green flag...

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,
Francois.
