revlis, thanks for posting that. I'm trying to understand the writing and whether it somehow supports Mr. Aynes position.
Portions of the section of ETSI rules that you posted state: "6.1 When an ESSENTIAL IPR relating to a particular STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION is brought to the attention of ETSI, the Director-General of ETSI shall immediately request the owner to give within three months an undertaking in writing that it is prepared to grant irrevocable licences on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions under such IPR to at least the following extent: ............ The above undertaking may be made subject to the condition that those who seek licences agree to reciprocate."
What in your opinion is meant by that last sentence? Does it support Mr. Aynes position? One interpretation I have though of is that it means that those who seek licenses will reciprocate in granting their own IPR on FRAND terms. I appreciate any help on this that you can give
