Fw: RE: Invitation to ISO/IEC 29500 Defect Report Collection Form

[MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)]

Dear colleagues,

Dr. Istvan Sebestyen of Ecma made some comments on the last statement 
in the comment collection form.  

"By submitting this comment, the submitter agrees that all intellectual property rights are granted to SC 34."

 I plan to have some discussion about this in Okinawa. 

Regards,

SC34/WG4 Convenor
MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)

Dear Murata-san,

Thanks.

I am not sure if the following formulation is correct on your form:

"By submitting this comment, the submitter agrees that all intellectual property rights are granted to SC 34."

I think here one has to be very specific, and depending on the type of IPR you need different texts.

For copyright you need a text that grants SC34 free license to use the submitted text, and that allows that it is 
published partly or fully under ISO/IEC/Ecma Copyright ownership.

For patents - if any - we need something that declares if there are any known essential patents - of the submitter or 
of 3rd party - in the submissions, and if so, at least licensing at RAND
terms (but preferably at RF terms) must be granted to any implementer. 
And a patent statement must be submitted by the patent holder to ISO/IEC
to declare that intention.

Kind regards,

Istvan Sebestyen

	SC 34 expresses its thanks for the report of Ad Hoc Group 2
	and notes that the web based defect collection mechanism is
