What's New in ODF Maintenance?

,----[ Quote ]
| Question: So who owns ODF maintenance?
| 
| Rob: The OASIS ODF TC owns the maintenance of the OASIS 
| ODF standard, and WG6 will own this activity for the 
| equivalent ISO/IEC text. However, neither committee has 
| absolute freedom of action, both being governed by 
| applicable procedural rules of their parent 
| organizations, as well as various joint agreements 
| between OASIS and JTC1.

| property policy to include a non-assertion mode, which means standards
| contributors must forgo royalty claims or license rights.
