Dear Kantara Initiative Work Group Chairs,
This Wiki page initiates a Leadership Council eBallot to reduce the duration of the Public Comment and IPR Review period to zero for minor material (non risk inducing) and non-material editorial changes to the FIWG Implementation Profile.
| Rationale | Justification for classifying these changes as being ‘minor’: Setting aside any purely editorial changes, revisions proposed to FIWG Implementation Profile are of the following form and the FIWG meeting of 2019-12-04 agreed that they are collectively only minor in magnitude, did not identify any IPR conflicts and therefore arguably fit for immediate release. The FIWG therefore recommends release of this Implementation Profile revisions at the earliest opportunity on the basis that the revisions per se are minor in nature and do not break any implementations. |
| Motion: | To reduce the duration of the Public Comment Period and IPR Review period to zero for the minor material and non-material editorial changes to the FIWG Implementation Profile. |

| Ballot Information: | SECTION 7.7.1.1: LC Approval, Public Review and IPR Review Period Requirements. The LC can, by Super Majority vote of the LC, reduce the duration of, or remove altogether, the IPR Review Period and/or the Public Review period in instances where there is low risk of patent, copyright and applicable IPR issues, and/or low risk of a reduction in quality of the output, and/or the changes are minor and (in the case of criteria, do not break implementations) non-material editorial changes to Group- Approved Recommendations or Technical Specifications. The decision must take into consideration the risk of liability being assumed by reduction or removal of the review period and the impact of changes on affected parties (e.g. Service Providers and Assessors). The decision and rationale shall be reported to the Board of Directors at the next Board of Directors meeting. |
