I wanted to provide a summary of the process that we are using to address this issue. After a discussion with  Jonathan Bryce and Alan Clark on how best to approach  the CLA issue, we have developed the following plan: we need to separate the legal issues and the recommendations.  I will start by preparing a memo to provide a  legal framework so everyone can understand the legal issues in making this  decision.



The memo will not provide recommendations, because I think  that we need to first agree on the framework before we can assess the options.  The goal is to have a finalized framework  and  recommendations for the Board prior to the July Board meeting. I will  be preparing the memo for review by the Legal Affairs Committee for its June 25 meeting. After we get their input, I will make the memo available on the Foundation website for further community review.
