RE: Call for Exclusion: WebCGM 2.0 remains in CR until 22 November 2006.

I think maybe the key is "all members" waive rights through their AC
reps.  I've already instructed ours to do that.

I wonder, why wasn't this potential problem noticed during the 5th
September transition teleconference, that approved the 6th October CR
exit date?  Ian was on that teleconference, and he is the one who issued
the call for exclusion.

Where does the 60-day requirement come from?  As I looked at the various
PP documents, I saw several references to "after publication of Last
Call working draft".  I can't find anything about "60 days before PR
transition" 
or "...after CR transition".  (But then again, that just may be my own
inability to unravel the Byzantine and intertwined requirements of
Process, Patent Policy, How to Organize..., etc.)

Is this normal for every technical report, at this stage?  If so, then
effectively there is no possibility that there can ever be a CR shorter
than 60 days.

So moving on to practical solutions...

Boeing (Dave)
Itedo (Dieter)
ArborText (Larson)
OASIS (Lofton)

...is it possible to get your AC reps to do as Thierry says (below)?

(Thierry, why "any right to future exclusions"?  Ian's mail says, "If
you do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion
opportunity, no further action is required."  So why can't the AC reps
say, "we do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion
opportunity"?  Saying that would be the logical equivalent of them doing
nothing for two months.)
