[Infrastructure] Ballot SC70 results

[Inigo Barreira]

Hi,

 

Due to the new situation of the ballot SC70, how should we address the status of the ballot in the members tool and/or the google sheet?

 

On the members tool, we have all these options for ballots: passed, failed, cancelled, voting period, discussion period, new and pre-ballot but there´s no status for this situation.

In the google sheet, there´s no such options but need to clarify what we can indicate in that cell.

 

Another question is if all votes are automatically rescinded and deemed null and void, should we remove those votes from the tool and the sheet? Should we leave them for some historical purposes?

 

Regards

[Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA)]

In my understanding it's very easy. The ballot has passed. Nothing needs to change in the member's tool or the spreadsheet. These tools serve a different purpose, to capture the Member's votes and give the result.

The IPR clearance and publishing of the updated guideline is a separate process.

There is no such option in the Bylaws. The votes are not rescinded because of an essential claim. The Bylaws have provisions for this situation which has happened at least once in the past. Which part of the Bylaws or the IPR Policy is not clear to you for the situation we are currently in?

As a reminder:

• Bylaws, IPR Policy and procedural questions/interpretations/possible changes of those documents must be discussed at the Forum's public mailing list (pub...@cabforum.org).
• If the Forum-level decides on certain tooling updates, the implementation can be further analyzed/discussed at the infrastructure SC.
• The specific PAG or IPR discussion must happen at the corresponding WG, not the Forum-level and certainly not at the infrastructure SC.

Thanks,
Dimitris.
