From: mark.cataldo@orange.com [mailto:mark.cataldo@orange.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 1:57 AM To: Cheryl Blum Cc: Andrew Kurtzman; Bengoshi@aol.com; snewberry@omaorg.org Subject: Open Mobile Alliance application for oneM2M Partner Type 2 Importance: High Hello CheryI, I am pleased to inform you that as Chairman of the Board of the Open Mobile Alliance, and on behalf of the Open Mobile Alliance Board, I hereby make the Open Mobile Alliance’s application to participate in the oneM2M organisation in the Partner Type 2 category. Information, and further links, regarding the Open Mobile Alliance’s IPR Policy may be found at http://www.openmobilealliance.org/AboutOMA/IPR.aspx. General information about the Open Mobile Alliance may be found at http://www.openmobilealliance.org/AboutOMA/Default.aspx. Further to and as part of this application, the Open Mobile Alliance Board has diligently reviewed the oneM2M Partnership Agreement, and respectfully requests oneM2M to address and respond to the following questions of clarification:- 1. What copyright ownership will the Partners 2 have to the Technical Specifications and Technical Reports? 2. What copyright grant is expected from the Partners 2 when contributions are made to the oneM2M Partnership? 3. Does Annex 1, section 3.2, require OMA when making a contribution to disclose pursuant to the terms of the OMA IPR Policy Essential IPR of the OMA members or only Essential IPR, if any, that OMA itself would have? 4. Does the oneM2M Partnership Agreement restrict in any way Partners 2 from creating their own M2M specifications outside of the work in the oneM2M Partnership? 5. Please consider revising the definition of IPR (found in section 1 of Annex 1) so that it reads along the following lines: "Intellectual Property Rights ("IPR")" means the patents and pending patent applications and copyrights covering software or firmware contributed by oneM2M Participants to the Technical Specifications and Technical Reports. oneM2M is respectfully requested to confirm receipt of this application and that all required information has been provided, and the Open Mobile Alliance looks forward to receiving oneM2M’s response as expeditiously as possible. I have copied Ann Woodliff (OMA Legal Attorney) and Seth Newberry (OMA General Manager of Operations) as part of this formal submission.
