2. Jan. 16, 2006 C802.20-06/09Chair, IEEE 802.20 6. Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents whose infringement is, or in the case of patent applications, potential future infringement the applicant asserts will be, unavoidable in a compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions of the standard [essential patents]. This assurance shall be provided without coercion. The patent holder or applicant should provide this assurance as soon as reasonably feasible in the standards development process. This assurance shall be provided no later than the approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent or patent application becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be either: a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement either mandatory or optional portions of the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity complying with the standard; or b) A statement that a license for such implementation will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination. This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.

7. Jan. 16, 2006 C802.20-06/09Chair, IEEE 802.20 APPENDIX B IEEE 802.20 WG Policies and Procedures V1.0 Affiliation Statements Per ANSI essential requirements, if there is a requested from an interested party for identification of affiliation it shall be granted. The ANSI rules apply since IEEE 802 does not have any exception speaking to this issue. Per the Chair of IEEE 802 and the Standards Association Board counsel, this procedure will be followed unless there is no request from an interested party. Procedure: 1. All attendees shall state their affiliation using a manual sign in book provided at each Plenary and Interim Session. If the automated/electronic attendance system is updated for the appropriate record field and instructions, the attendees shall use that system. 2. If an attendee is unable to comply with this procedure, the attendee shall notify the WG Chair. 3. Each attendee shall refer to the below ANSI Essential Requirements statement and use the below for guidance in complying with this procedure. Affiliation and ANSI Essential Requirements On the Web at: http://public.ansi.org/ansionline/Documents/Standards Activities/American National Standards/Procedures, Guides, and Forms/ER2003.doc “2.1 Openness Timely and adequate notice of any action to create, revise, reaffirm, or withdraw a standard, and the establishment of a new consensus body shall be provided to all known directly and materially affected interests. Notice should include a clear and meaningful description of the proposed activity and shall identify a readily available source of information. In addition, the name, affiliation [2] and interest category of each member of the consensus body shall be made available to interested parties upon request.” “[2] “Affiliation” refers to the entity that the consensus body member represents (which may or may not be that person’s employer). If the consensus body member is serving in an individual capacity, then the name of the individual, that person’s employer, sponsor and interest category should be available. Contact information is not required.”
