This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of either: a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or b) A statement that a license will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.

November 2004 03-665-r9 extract 12. Presenters of each complete proposal shall be given the opportunity to make a final 5 minute statement to the group advocating their proposals just before the down selection voting starts. An elimination vote shall then be taken to remove proposals having little support within the task group. Each voting member shall cast a single ballot and vote to further consider or not to consider each individual proposal. The task group shall eliminate from consideration all proposals that do not obtain at least 25% support of the ballots cast. In the sample ballot shown below, a single registered voter has voted for Proposals A, B, and C to continue to be under consideration and Proposals D and E to no longer be under consideration. Note: One vote per column per voter is required for a valid ballot Kraemer, Conexant; Hillman, AMD

Low Hurdle Vote Schedule November 2004 Low Hurdle Vote Schedule How best to schedule?

Low Hurdle vote - Poll Straw poll November 2004 Low Hurdle vote - Poll Straw poll Should TGn set the final panel presentation and low hurdle ballot as a special order event on 1:30 pm Thursday Nov 18?

Low Hurdle Vote Process November 2004 Low Hurdle Vote Process Low hurdle vote Paper ballot will be used one issued to each voting member who wishes to vote handed out in room at start of ballot process Name checked against voters list Returned votes checked again Chair recommends that simple tally is recorded and reported e.g. The preparation and processing time for a roll call vote is significantly greater than that for a simple tally. The officers need to prepare agenda time and staff support accordingly. Alternatively, for a roll call vote , the contents of each ballot will be recorded for each voter and the results posted as an Excel spreadsheet. Kraemer, Conexant; Hillman, AMD

The 25% is counted by dividing the count of Yes votes by the sum of the Yes and No votes. This vote is not subject to a roll call vote. 3. The chair may refuse the request for a roll call vote if this privilege is being abused by members repeatedly calling for a roll call vote. The chair shall allow both the majority and minority reasonable and fair use of the roll call vote. Each roll call vote and call for a roll call vote shall be recorded in minutes of the meeting. For each roll call vote, the minutes shall include each member’s name, their vote and the final result of the vote. For each call for a roll call vote, the minutes shall include: i.
