Call for Consensus (CfC) on adopting W3C Process 2020 Patent Policy

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to adopt the W3C Patent Policy (Version
of 15 September 2020)
https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20200915/

The WebTransport working group was unfortunately chartered right before
W3C's "Process 2020" https://www.w3.org/wiki/Process2020 went into effect,
which means we missed it. We (the chairs) think it would be beneficial to
update to the new policy, even though this requires rechartering. From
previous experience this may require members to rejoin, though we're still
a bit uncertain about the details.

Full disclosure: the chairs have responded positively to a W3C survey on
such adoption, whose deadline is today. We therefore appreciate quick
feedback on the CfC if there are concerns. With this working group just
starting out, we're hopeful this won't pose a problem for anyone, but would
like to extend our apologies for not getting ahead of this sooner.

The CfC will last for one week, and will end on Friday, December 11,
2020 at 21:00 UTC.
In response, please state one of the following:

     I support adopting the the W3C Patent Policy (Version of 15 September
2020)
     I object to adopting the W3C Patent Policy (Version of 15 September
2020), due to the following concerns:

Jan-Ivar, for the Chairs
