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 2025-04-20 to exclude patent claims reading on this Recommendation-track document.

The Patent Policy anticipates that the documents will evolve during the 90 days following the first publication.  Per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1], whatever draft is available on 2025-02-19 establishes the reference material for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity. Just after 2025-02-19 we will send a reminder of this exclusion opportunity.

Per section 4.2 of the Patent Policy [2], a Participant may resign from the Working Group before 2025-02-19 and be excused from all licensing commitments arising out of Working Group participation.
