Copy of 2024-11-15 Email to Technology Stack Working Group Mailing List

To All ToIP Foundation Members — and especially members of the current Technology Stack Working Group (TSWG):

One year ago, the TSWG changed the intellectual property rights (IPR) terms of our JDF charter. The original TSWG (TSWG-1) used Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license for copyright and W3C Mode for patents. The successor TSWG-2 used the Open Web Foundation (OWF) 1.0 license for both copyright and patents. 

Recently the KERI suite of specifications moved to the new KERI Suite Working Group, where they will continue to operate under the OWF 1.0 licensefor both copyright and patents.

Subsequently, members of TSWG-2 have requested that the Working Group transition to a new TSWG-3 that uses the original TSWG-1 IPR terms due to greater compatibility with other standards bodies with whom we are collaborating (e.g., DIF and W3C CCG).

However, members do want to retain one beneficial aspect of the OWF license: the policy setting a 45 day limit for patent exclusions on a member’s own contributions to deliverables of the WG. 

The Linux Foundation standards team advised us that this can be accomplished by the new TSWG-3 passing a motion adopting this policy as our official operating procedure and displaying the following notice (alongside the standard LF antitrust notice) in all WG proceedings:

NOTICE: In addition to the licensing terms of this Working Group’s JDF charter, this Working Group operates under the official policy that any Working Group Participant who makes a contribution to a Draft Deliverable shall have a maximum of 45 days from the date of that contribution to exclude any Essential Claims pertaining to that contribution.

A new TSWG-3 charter that makes no changes in scope but only changes the IPR terms to Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license for copyright and W3C Mode for patents was approved by the ToIP Steering Committee at their meeting on 13 November 2024.

This means we must now undergo the same transition we went through a year ago by taking the following steps:

  1. Sending an official notice to the TSWG-2 mailing list and the ToIP All-Members mailing list of the new TSWG-3 charter together with a 45 day notice of a Call for Exclusions for all current TSWG deliverables as specified in the OWF license.
  2. At the end of this 45 day period (i.e., the first week of January), sending an announcement to the same mailing lists of an official closure of the current TSWG-2, terminating all work on deliverables under the current IPR terms.
  3. After step #2, send an announcement to the same mailing lists of the official opening of a new TSWG-3 operating under the new IPR terms.
  4. The TSWG-3 shall then:
    1. Officially accept any previous TSWG-2 deliverable that will continue under the new Working Group.
    2. Officially pass a motion to adopt the operating policy described above.

This email constitutes official notice to all TSWG members and contributors of a Call for Exclusions for all current TSWG deliverables as specified in our current OWF license. You have 45 days — until midnight Pacific Time on 31 December 2024 — to notify the co-chairs of the TSWG-2 (cc’d on this email) of the necessary claims of any patent rights you wish to exclude from any TSWG-2 deliverable as currently represented by a Working Draft or other documentation submitted to the TSWG-2 or any of our Task Forces.

Following that 45 day period, the current TSWG-2 will be formally closed and a new TSWG-3 will be opened that will operate under the new approved charter and IPR terms. Each pre-existing deliverable from the old TSWG-2 will then need to be formally accepted as a contribution to the new TSWG-3 in order for the new IPR terms to take effect.

Please contact any of the TSWG co-chairs (cc’d) if you have any questions about this transition.

Thank you,

=Drummond, Kevin, Wenjing and Dan
