All,
A note before our call regarding moving forward on the "Principal Terms" document.
1. If we think it is fruitful, we can walk through the entire document. This may be a bit of a slog, and so may not the best use of time. 2. After the call, I would like to "accept" the suggested edits I've made. However, if there are any suggested edits that require further discussion, we can leave those up as suggestions until they are resolved. 3. As such, it would be good to identify suggested edits that require further discussion. I may not be the best judge of that, since I tend to think that my edits make sense. However, I recognize that these may include:
1) Quality control (including role of communities) 2) Change of IPR holder in case of not meeting the needs of the OCs 3) The IETF Trust can unilaterally terminate the agreement 4) Relationship of communities to each other and to the Trust (including proposed "Governance Council") 5) Management and operation of domain name(s) (not necessarily controversial, but needs to be expanded/filled in) 6) Funding (the document is silent on this, except that it contemplates that the Trust bears the usual costs of a trademark owner)
I expect we will also discuss process/next steps. We should consider when we would like input from ICANN legal. Since they will be a signatory to the Assignment Agreement, and their controlled affiliate (PTI) will be a signatory to the license agreement, we will need their feedback relatively soon.
I look forward to our call.
Greg
