Intellectual Property Policy

• I acknowledge that participation in GGF11 is
  subject to the GGF Intellectual Property Policy.
• Intellectual Property Notices Note Well All
  statements related to the activities of the GGF
  and addressed to the GGF are subject to all
  provisions of Section 17 of GFD-C.1 (.pdf), which
  grants to the GGF and its participants certain
  licenses and rights in such statements. Such
  statements include verbal statements in GGF
  meetings, as well as written and electronic
  communications made at any time or place, which
  are addressed to the GGF plenary session,
• any GGF working group or portion thereof,
• the GFSG, or any member thereof on behalf of the
  GFSG,
• the GFAC, or any member thereof on behalf of the
  GFAC,
• any GGF mailing list, including any working group
  or research group list, or any other list
  functioning under GGF auspices,
• the GFD Editor or the GWD process
• Statements made outside of a GGF meeting, mailing
  list or other function, that are clearly not
  intended to be input to an GGF activity, group or
  function, are not subject to these provisions.
• Excerpt from Section 17 of GFD-C.1 Where the GFSG
  knows of rights, or claimed rights, the GGF
  secretariat shall attempt to obtain from the
  claimant of such rights, a written assurance that
  upon approval by the GFSG of the relevant GGF
  document(s), any party will be able to obtain the
  right to implement, use and distribute the
  technology or works when implementing, using or
  distributing technology based upon the specific
  specification(s) under openly specified,
  reasonable, non-discriminatory terms. The working
  group or research group proposing the use of the
  technology with respect to which the proprietary
  rights are claimed may assist the GGF secretariat
  in this effort. The results of this procedure
  shall not affect advancement of document, except
  that the GFSG may defer approval where a delay
  may facilitate the obtaining of such assurances.
  The results will, however, be recorded by the GGF
  Secretariat, and made available. The GFSG may
  also direct that a summary of the results be
  included in any GFD published containing the
  specification. GGF Intellectual Property
  Policies are adapted from the IETF Intellectual
  Property Policies that support the Internet
  Standards Process.
