5. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy.
Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]:
“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)
The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

6. Patent Related Links

Either speak up now or
Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or
Cause an LOA to be submitted

Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims.
Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.
Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.

14. Business #2 Revised and new P802.1CF contributions
Text proposal for section Network initialization, which was uploaded shortly after the last conference call, was reviewed and terminology was jointly cleaned up to align with the definitions introduced in the latest revision of the NRM.

Discussion about the future location of the text proposed for led to the conclusion to extend the scope of chapter 8 to ‘Network virtualization functions’ with subsections 8.1 Network instantiation’, 8.2 ‘SDN functional decomposition’ and 8.3 ‘Network Function Virtualization’
