Discussion
-
Trademark Transfer Status
The content for the trademark program web pages and license agreement was substantially borrowed from the Linux Mark Institute (LMI). Tony has been working with legal counsel to communicate with the LMI; they are fine with the borrowing in principle but need to review and approve the final copy. Also the license agreement has been modified to address the particulars of Jabber and the JSF, so a final review of that is needed. Both items should be completed in the next week or so. After definition of the program structure, the JSF needs to define processes and procedures for trademark administration. This may involve a dedicated Trademark Team at some point, but may be addressed by the Board in the interim. Further discussion required to determine process and procedures.
-
Future of Compliance and Marketing Teams
Both the Compliance Team and Marketing Team chairs have resigned. Only two JSF members have replied to Russell's call for participation in the Compliance Team. Consensus that compliance will become a bigger priority once the XMPP specifications advance to RFC. Renewed focus on compliance will be a priority in 2004. The focus of the Marketing Team is somewhat more nebulous; further discussion is required, but broad consensus that the focus needs to include promoting the JSF as a standards body and raising the acceptance of JSF protocols in the business world. In effect, we will attempt to "restart" both teams after the new year.
-
Infrastructure Team
Report from Ryan that the team is coming along, with several volunteers. No formal activities yet (still organizing).
-
XMPP.ORG Team
Consensus that it makes sense to launch the website soon after the XMPP specs advance to RFC. Some Jabber services are already in place (in particular, the ietf.xmpp.org chatrooms for use by IETF Working Groups, thanks to David Sutton and Peter Millard). Peter to put out call for contributors.
-
Michael Bauer's Resignation
Not official yet (per the Bylaws) since not received in writing. Peter to follow up in person.
-
JINC CCM License
No license text yet. Tony to follow up. Peter to follow up with server admins about quality of service.
