Hello,

   Sixteen people attended the 11 March 2002 Patent Policy Working
   Group (PPWG) teleconference. The group discussed the Royalty-Free
   Patent Policy Working Draft. The majority of the meeting was spent
   discussing open issues and under what conditions issues will be
   revisited. At the suggestion of Open Source/free software
   participants, a change in wording was made to the definition of
   Royalty-Free Licenses in section 3.1 of the current Working Draft.
   The words "implementers of the specification" were removed.
   Disclosure and exclusion both for unpublished and published
   applications are still unresolved. There was a brief report from
   the Task Force for optional features. The PPWG will meet next on 18
   March.

Best wishes,
--
