To: TC Qualified Members of the OASIS DocBook TC
cc: Other TC members
The OASIS DocBook TC has conducted a Transition Approval Ballot under the rules provided by the OASIS IPR Transition
Policy [1]. The ballot results are visible to OASIS members at [2]. The ballot to apply the current (2005) OASIS IPR
Policy to the TC's operations, and adopt the "RF on Limited Terms" IPR mode, was APPROVED. As a result, the TC will
start operating under that policy and mode on 7 February 2007, which is 14 days from the date of this notice. That date
will be the TC's Transition Effective Date under the IPR Transition Policy. This message is your Approval Notification
under that policy.
Please note:
1. The obligations of OASIS members who serve as TC members under the 2005 OASIS IPR Policy [3] are different, in
some ways, from those under the prior policy. Please review the 2005 policy so that you are clear about the licensing
and disclosure obligations associated with the TC after the TC Transition Effective Date.
2. OASIS staff will announce the TC Transition Effective Date and the TC's new IPR Mode to members in the same
manner as a charter amendment.
Regards,
Mary
