All - The amended language for Section 9.5 (Licensing) of the IETF Trust was posted to the IETF lists on December 1st and the IETF Trust FAQ has been updated to reflect the new text (see below). We have also added additional details on the handling of historical data. As we develop procedures for the transfer of assets into the IETF Trust and an inventory of items held by the IETF Trust we will publish them to the IAOC web site (see: http://koi.uoregon.edu/~iaoc/) Several people asked for additional time to review our final language, and with that in mind, I would like to extend this Call one last time to December 8th, 2005. Please send comments to: ietf@xxxxxxxx or iaoc.ietf.org - Thanks Lucy E. Lynch Academic User Services Computing Center University of Oregon llynch @darkwing.uoregon.edu (541) 346-1774 FAQ Updates: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. How will the license provisions in Section 9.5 affect the contents of Standards related documents like RFCs and Internet Drafts. The IETF IPR rules in force when such documents were published still apply and Section 9.5 has been updated to reflect community concerns about the effect of licensing terms. The new text reads: "9.5 Licenses. The Trust (acting through the Trustees) shall have the right to grant licenses for the use of the Trust Assets on such terms, subject to Section 7.1, as the Trustees deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Trust shall not grant any license that would be deemed a transfer of ownership or abandonment of any Trust Assets under applicable law. Specifically, any license granted by the Trust for the use of the Trust Assets consisting of IPR other than rights in IETF standards-related documents (such as RFCs, Internet Drafts and the like) that have been acquired by the Trust through non-exclusive licenses granted by their contributors pursuant to the IETF community-approved procedures currently set forth in RFC 3978, and any community-approved updates and revisions thereto, shall include provisions stating that (a) the licensee agrees to grant and assign to the Trust all right, title, and interest it may have or claim in any derivative works of licensee that are based on or incorporate the IPR, and (b) the licensee's use of the IPR and any goodwill associated therewith shall inure to the benefit of the Trust." 19. Which of the assets listed in Schedule A will be transferred when the IETF Trust is established? Will the Trustees publish an accounting of these assets? All of the Marks, Domain Names, and Current Data listed in Schedule A will be transferred at closing. In addition, Historical Data that is currently available from available from the servers currently operated by or for the IETF Secretariat (i.e. data available on spinning disk) will also be transferred at closing. The Trustees will inventory all assets and provide a full accounting to the IETF community. Historical data which is currently in-accessible will be subject to the conditions outlined in sub-sections b-g. When and if additional data becomes available, those assets will transfer to the IETF Trust and will be added to the inventory. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
