[antitrust-policy] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-halpern-gendispatch-antitrust-08.txt

[Jay Daley <[e-mail]>]

Hi All

A new version of draft-halpern-gendispatch-antitrust is now available.

The only substantive change is that the previous section "Topics requiring caution" has now been deleted.  In the previous version of this I-D, this section covered two areas: the first began "Using unpublished market data to evaluate the relative  implementation costs" and the second was "Entering into potentially discriminatory, group negotiations of IPR terms".  These are both complex areas where some behaviours are an antitrust risk and some are not, but it has become clear that explaining where the difference lies is not possible and all attempts so far have confused people and led to mis-interpretation.

We understand that some on this list wanted this explained, while others wanted this whole section deleted, but after much discussion we concluded that deletion was our only option.

With this change, we consider this I-D ready to go to last call and will be notifying the sponsoring AD of that view.  If you strongly disagree then please speak up.

Jay
