Summary of 25 October 2001 Patent Policy WG Teleconference

Hello,

Eleven people attended the 25 October Patent Policy Working Group
(PPWG) teleconference. They discussed how best to ask for feedback from
the W3C Advisory Committee (AC) which is holding its semi-annual
meeting a week from now. PPWG Chair Danny Weitzner proposed that an
email questionnaire about major W3C patent policy issues be sent to
each AC representative on 29 October. The PPWG meeting was devoted to
discussing the fine points of these questions. The questions cover
preferences for RF and/or RAND Recommendations, Member licensing
obligations, opt-out, and open source and free software implementation
of W3C Recommendations. The PPWG reached consensus on the list of
questions and their wording. The group briefly planned for a PPWG
discussion period on 7 November at the AC Meeting.

Best wishes,
--
