Call for Exclusions: Resource Timing

Dear Advisory Committee representative,

This is a W3C Patent Policy Call for Exclusions for the following Recommendation Track document:

- Resource Timing
 (http://www.w3.org/TR/resource-timing/),
 exclusion opportunity ending on 21 October 2011 23:59 UTC


This specification was produced by the Web Performance Working Group.

If you do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion opportunity, no further action is required.

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 21 October 2011 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. For more information about exclusions, please see 
 http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Exclusion

To make exclusions, please use the following form:
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/45211/exclude

The Patent Policy anticipates that the document will evolve during the 90 days following the first publication.  Per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1], whatever draft is available on 22 August 2011 establishes the reference material [3] for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity. Just after 22 August 2011, we will send a reminder and identify the reference draft. Due to the anticipated instability of the document prior to 22 August 2011, Participants may wish to exclude any claims only after publication of the reference draft (and no later than the end of the exclusion opportunity).

Per section 4.2 of the Patent Policy [2], a Participant may resign from the Working Group before 22 August 2011 and be excused from all licensing commitments arising out of Working Group participation.

To resign from the Working Group before 22 August 2011, please use the following form:
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/45211/join
