IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in Standards
6. Patents
IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of 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 the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or
b) A statement that a license 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.

Study/Task Group Process, Take 2:
Discussion of typical process of getting to Letter Ballot.
Some present expressed interest in working together informally as subgroups on several topics as follows: Usage Cases, Definitions, Routing, Security, and Quality of Service.
There was strong interest in having a joint meeting in July with r and other groups such as CAPWAP, 802.1, or WNM.
The following possibilities for the July meeting were straw voted as follows:
Adoption of an Initial Definitions document, adopted 33-0
Usage Cases and Functional Requirements discussion, adopted 38-0
Architecture Presentations, adopted 31-0
Other ad-hoc subgroup results and Presentations, adopted 16-1
Issuing a Call for Proposals, defeated 9-19
