(7) Liaison agreement with ASTM

- Discussion
  - Does ASTM liaison agreement allow PWG to reference non-public 
    specifications as informative references?
    - Mike's summary is relevant to this  

  - ASTM allows AMSC to promote its work
    - Informative references to other standards should always be OK 

  - If PWG uses a name that is *derived from* a name defined within a non-public 
    paywalled reference spec, will the PWG be at risk of copyright infringement? 

  - How does our liaison agreement with such an organization protect us from this or 
    facilitate this being OK?

  - Quote from front boilerplate of our PWG specs:
    "This document may be copied and furnished to others, and derivative works that 
    comment on, or otherwise explain it or assist in its implementation may be 
    prepared, copied, published and distributed, in whole or in part, without 
    restriction of any kind, provided that the above copyright notice, this paragraph, 
    and the title of the Document as referenced below are included on all such copies 
    and derivative works.  However, this Document itself may not be modified in any 
    way, such as by removing the copyright notice or references to the IEEE-ISTO and 
    the Printer Working Group, a program of the IEEE-ISTO."

ACTION: Smith / Jessica to update "liaison agreement template" or create new "license agreement template" that would allow a partner to grant to PWG the right to use or reference content within - should this be created by the PWG or by the org that is granting the license?
