<p class="MsoNormal">We have a last minute request from a Forum member to make a change to the definition of “Affiliate” in the IPR Policy. We previously took out the following language, and the member would like to have something similar put back in.<o:p></o:p></p>

“Affiliate” definition in situations where it can be shown that there is no intent to circumvent the licensing obligations of Section 5.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We changed this definition of “Affiliate” to match the one in the Bylaws, which did not have the exclusion language above. <b><span style="color:#FF9300">Please let me know your thoughts on making such a change this late in the game, vs.
making this change along with some other items on the list of deferred issues after Ballot 206 (hopefully) passes?</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If we make the requested change, we would likely have to <b>
restart </b>the informal discussion period, formal discussion period, and voting period timetable, meaning the process would be
<b>delayed further.</b> When other members see that a last minute change was accommodated,
<b>more changes could be requested,</b> creating further delays.<o:p></o:p></p>
