5 OLD BUSINESS
5.1 CCSA IPR Policy – Mills
Chair Mills stated that a few inputs were received from the request for feedback on the CCSA IPR Policy. It was felt that feedback to CCSA would be better received if it was constructive as opposed to a critique. Chair Mills stated that he would either a) respond to CCSA and impart lessons learned from developing the IEEE-SA patent policy or b) respond as an individual or c) not provide any feedback. Chair Mills will inform PatCom in December of his actions.
5.2 External References Ad Hoc – Kulick
John Kulick reported that the ad hoc had developed text for a new FAQ to cover external references to documents of other SDOs, used whole and unmodified. No formal action was proposed and the ad hoc was asked to continue its work and report back to PatCom in December.
6 NEW BUSINESS
6.1 ANSI IPRPC Update – Kulick/Ringle
John Kulick reported that the next ANSI IPRPC meeting is scheduled for 5 October 2009 in Washington, DC.
