… Motion begins …

The Forum requests the list manager to establish a new Forum mail list called cabfpub@cabforum.org. Current subscribers to the “management” mail list should be subscribed to the cabfpub@cabforum.org list with no action required on their part. Forum members (both voting and observing) should be allowed to post to the cabfpub@cabforum.org list. Anyone else should be allowed to subscribe and receive posted messages. But, until a mechanism for obtaining their agreement to the IPR policy has been implemented, they should not be allowed to post messages to the cabfpub@cabforum.org list.

The Forum requests the Webmaster to post instructions for subscribing to the cabfpub@cabforum.org list on the Forum Web site (cabforum.org).

Agendas and minutes of future Forum meetings will be posted to the cabfpub@cabforum.org list. Other messages may be posted to the cabfpub@cabforum.org list at the originator’s discretion.

The ballot review period comes into effect at 21:00 UTC on April 27, 2012 and will close at 21:00 UTC on May 4, 2012. Unless the motion is withdrawn during the review period, the voting period will start immediately thereafter and will close at 21:00 UTC on May 11, 2012. Votes must be cast by “reply all” to this email.

A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear ‘yes’ in the response. A vote against must indicate a clear ‘no’ in the response. A vote to abstain must indicate a clear ‘abstain’ in the response. Unclear responses will not be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting member before the close of the voting period will be counted.
