2015-12-16 Meeting Notes

Roll Call was conducted at 4:06 p.m. EST

• The IPR Task Force held a conference call on 9 December 2015.
• The group reviewed the IPR Spreadsheet and collected Use Cases.
• The discussion entailed: Moving to one single IPR or tentatively look at Contribution Agreement like OpenID where effectively work isn't governed by IPR but if you contribute
  you agree not to take an action against others.
• The goal is for the LC to make a recommendation to the BoT and for the BoT to establish preferences that can be communicated to legal advisers.
• The options are IPR with a lesser number of options (what would this be as the WG are currently nearly evenly split between RAND and CCA)
• The Contribution Agreement had not been discussed in the prior discussions of which IPR to land on.
• Moving the IPR around or streamlining it will require members resigning. In OpenID members sign a comprehensive agreement but when a work group gets added they have to sign a new one.
• Does the LC have a preference for the way forward?
• Sal: The contributions Agreement is the maximum simplification of this. It removes the IPR issue. In any case people will have to do the participation agreement. Apache is uncomfortable getting specifications, 
  though it is clean and open source. It would be nice to have a policy that covers specifications, software, etc.
• IRM: Motion to advise the BoT the LC recommends pursuing a Non-Assert Contributor Agreement along the lines of IETF for WG participants - Seconded by e-Gov; No Objections.

• The 2 December minutes will be sent to those at the 2 December Meeting for an e-Vote.
• 18 November minutes - motion to accept IA; Seconded IRM; no objections.

  Will look at IDESG framework version 1 and how it relates and maps to the IAF Trust Mark framework criteria. There are 45 requirement in the IDESG baseline. Hopefully a smooth journey for customers for IDESG
  self attesting service and those that have Kantara approval will have a friction less pathway between the two.
• IRM - In IDESG there are identifier requirements mapping to the baseline and there seem to be rational developments. The group is okay with changing IPR and will adapt as needed. Put privacy related references through a discussion of IRM in the wild. The minutes are in bettwer shape and there is a cleaning up of the wiki ongoing.
