I am forwarding to all members of the Technical Committee Tom Smith's 
response to my inquiry about the intellectual property provisions of the 
California "second generation" project and the apparent conflict with 
the state's stated intention to "throw over the fence" to the OASIS 
Technical Committee its final specification for consideration as a 
national standard.  It seems clear to me from Tom's response that the TC 
will be able to test and comment on California's interim product, and 
could extend it once frozen, but could not otherwise modify it to make 
it suitable for national use.  So, it seems to me that we are on a 
course that will produce a California standard that the rest of the 
country can take or leave.  But the California product will not be 
available for use in developing a national standard, unless the national 
standard is identical to, or merely includes extensions to, the 
California product.  Am I misinterpreting Tom's response?
