This is to advise the IETF that Action Technologies is willing to grant
licenses under our patents which may be applicable to  the calendaring
and scheduling (C&S) standards being developed in the IETF. This would
include the  Action patents #5,216,603 and #5,208,748: "Method and
Apparatus for Structuring and Managing Human Communications by
Explicitly Defining the Types of Communications Permitted Between
Participants".

In this regard, if implementations of the C&S specifications from the
CALSCH committee infringe patents issued to Action, Action agrees upon
written request to grant a non-exclusive license under such patents on
a nondiscriminatory basis and on reasonable terms and conditions.
