Successful Emergency Management IPR Transition Ballot

To:  TC Qualified Members 
of the Emergency 
Management TC 
cc:  Other TC 
members 

    The 
OASIS Emergency Management TC has 
conducted a Transition Approval Ballot 
under the rules provided by the OASIS IPR 
Transition Policy [1]. The ballot results 
are visible to OASIS members at [2]. The ballot to apply the current (2005) 
OASIS IPR Policy to the TC's operations, 
and adopt the "RF on RAND" IPR mode, was APPROVED. As a result, the TC will start 
operating under that policy and mode on 17 October 
2006, which is 14 days from the date of this notice. That 
date will be the TC's Transition Effective 
Date under the IPR Transition Policy. This message is your Approval Notification 
under that policy.

    Please 
note: 

   1.  The obligations of OASIS members who 
serve as TC members under the 2005 OASIS IPR Policy [3] are different, in some ways, from those under 
the prior policy. Please review the 2005 policy so that you are clear about the 
licensing and disclosure obligations associated with the TC after the TC Transition Effective Date.

    2.  OASIS staff will announce the TC Transition Effective Date and the TC's new IPR Mode to members in the same manner as a 
charter amendment.
