What are the Boundaries of SCOPEs work?
SCOPE will not create any new IPR nor will it drive specific extensions into existing specifications. All standardization activities will continue to be driven independently by member companies existing engagements with other standards bodies and liaisons as they see fit. As such SCOPE will not create new intellectual property nor will it bring any member companies’ intellectual property into its work. In summary: • SCOPE will not create any IP (Intellectual Property) • SCOPE will not create any specifications • SCOPE profiles will be limited to parts of the CGBP it believes are a commodity or will be in the very near future and are otherwise not areas of differentiation between companies. • SCOPE will initially focus on “Control Plane” issues. • SCOPE will make every effort to avoid overlap with any other OPEN industry initiatives or body.
