Ballot FORUM-022:  Establish Forum IPR Subcommittee

 

Proposed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and endorsed by Roman Fischer of SwissSign and Clint Wilson of Apple.

 

Purpose of Ballot

 

The CA/Browser Forum’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy and associated documentation were last revised in 2018. Since then, there have been requests for clarification about application of the IPR Policy to contributions of non-Forum Members, and sections of the IPR Policy and documentation have been identified as needing amendment, including the form for filing and handling of Essential Claim Exclusion Notices. It is proposed that a Charter be adopted establishing a Forum IPR Subcommittee (FIPR) and that the proposed scope of the FIPR be to update and improve the IPR Policy and associated documentation and to discuss the following:

 

(a) How to address contributions provided by non-Forum Members (e.g., invited experts, guest speakers, researchers, etc.);

(b) If any clarifications and/or changes are necessary to the IPR Policy in view of recent events; and

(c) A potential contributor license agreement for the Forum’s GitHub repository and policy for contributing to the Forum’s GitHub repository.

 

Following the passage of this ballot:

• A new Forum IPR Subcommittee will be formed under the CA/Browser Forum, as outlined in section 5.6 of the Bylaws (Forum Subcommittees);
• Mailing list(s), GitHub repository(ies), Wiki resource(s), and other collaboration tools will be established as needed to enable the Forum Subcommittee to fulfill its charter; and
• The Forum Subcommittee will publish a set of recommended revisions to the IPR Policy and associated documentation for the Forum to adopt.

 

MOTION BEGINS

 

Establish Forum IPR Subcommittee

 

Upon approval from the CA/Browser Forum by ballot in accordance with sections 2.3 and 5.6 of the Forum Bylaws, the Forum IPR Subcommittee (“FIPR”) is created to perform the activities as specified in the Charter, which is found here:
