9. doc.: IEEE 802.15-01/197r1 Submission May 2001 Robert F. HeileSlide 9 Individual Representation and Anti-Trust In IEEE standards meetings, membership is by individual, hence you do not represent a company or organization. The Anti-Trust laws forbid the discussion of prices

10. doc.: IEEE 802.15-01/197r1 Submission May 2001 Robert F. HeileSlide 10 IEEE 802 WG Voting Membership All persons participating in the initial meeting of the Working Group become voting members of the Working Group. Thereafter, voting membership in a Working Group is established by participating in at least 75% of the meetings of the Working Group at two out of the last four Plenary sessions. Membership starts at the beginning of the third Plenary session attended, providing the 2 out of 4 rule is satisfied. One duly constituted interim Working Group Meeting may be substituted for the Working Group meetings at one of the two Plenary sessions Members of the Working Group who have not achieved voting status are known as observers. Liaison members are those designated individuals who provide liaison with other working groups or standards bodies. Reference 5.1.3 of the IEEE 802 Rules

11. doc.: IEEE 802.15-01/197r1 Submission May 2001 Robert F. HeileSlide 11 IEEE 802 WG Meetings Working Group meetings are open to anyone. The privilege of observers to participate in discussions is at the discretion of the Working Group Chair. Interim Working Group or Technical Advisory Group meetings, as a goal, are to have: –1) Reasonable advance notification to all Working Group members, observers and liaison people (>4 weeks), –2) Few last minute shifts in location (<< 1 per year), and –3) Announcement of Interim meeting at the plenary.

Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, if there is technical justification in the opinion of the standards-developing committee and provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder that it will license applicants under reasonable terms and conditions for the purpose of implementing the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent 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 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 to all applicants without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination.
