16 IEEE 802/SA Task Force Agenda 1) MyBallot beta testing update: Grow to report 2) Funded Services Project Updates: –On-line traing: Thaler/Ickowicz –P&P: Sherman/Ringle (or equiv) 3) Discussion on Entity Balloting: review draft of 'corporate procedures' developed by Law and Booth 4) Complementary Copies: GOT and AI to report on their suggestions for alternative 'trophies' 5) ISO/IEC IEEE SA relationship and strategic impact on 802 LMSC: Nikolich 6) Financial Budgeting and Reporting: increased emphasis: Grow to review his comments 7) Policy on offensive project numbers: Grow to review his suggestion 8) Drafts for sale policy; Roger Marks 9) Submitting 802 documents to ANSI

17 December 2003 Stds Board Voting Rules Guidance The new voting rules were explained to the group as follows: Since the last IEEE-SASB meeting, the IEEE BOD approved a Bylaw change I300.4 (item4) whereby the IEEE-SASB and the committees that report to it, will compare yes’s against no’s and determine which is greater. Abstentions do not count. The second change covers votes taken via . Any ballot needs to receive approval from a majority of voting members (all official members of your group) to allow an action to be taken. It should be noted that unofficial actions, such as straw polls, do not need to follow this rule. Problem for 802 WG ballots to forward a draft to Sponsor Ballot –Current rule: minimum 50% return rate, with 75% approval of those voting –SA Staff response: WG ballot not binding, therefore don’t have to follow rule

40 Patent Policy ( see next two slides )

41 6. Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents whose infringement is, or in the case of patent applications, potential future infringement the applicant asserts will be, unavoidable in a compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions of the standard [essential patents]. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent or patent application becomes known after initial approval of the standard). 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 either mandatory or optional potions of the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity complying with the standard; or b) A statement that a license for such implementation 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. IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in Standards Slide #1 Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – March 2003 (Revised February 2004)

42 Inappropriate Topics for IEEE WG Meetings Don’t discuss licensing terms or conditions Don’t discuss product pricing, territorial restrictions or market share Don’t discuss ongoing litigation or threatened litigation Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object. If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit Slide #2 Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – March 2003 (Revised February 2004
