RE: Successful oBIX TC IPR Transition Ballot

My apologies --- the message below indicates that 
OpenDocument conducted a Transition Approval Ballot; obviously this message is 
related to the oBIX (Open Building Information Exchange) TC.

Subject: Successful oBIX TC IPR Transition 
  Ballot

  

  

  
To:  TC Qualified 
  Members of the OASIS Open Building Information 
  Exchange (oBIX) TC 
cc:  
  Other TC members 

  
    The OASIS Open Document Format for 
  Office Applications (OpenDocument) 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 26 July 2006, 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.  Any members of 
  the TC who have not signed the current Membership Agreement by that date will 
  be deemed withdrawn from TC membership on the
  
   TC Transition Effective Date. If you 
  have not yet signed the agreement, and have questions or would like 
  assistance, please contact my colleague Scott McGrath, our Director of Member 
  Services, who is copied on this message.

  
    2.  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.

  
    3.  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
