What is a "Memorandum of Understanding"? #13
Comments
VF to discuss and propose. |
It seems that the confusion in this section may be coming from the assumption that "MOU" has a certain legal meaning when it does not. Please see attached for alternate proposed language that should address this issue. |
I think VF's document contains this: Hello all Request: Rationales:
"Partnership", "Formal liaison", so we only need to provide details for Proposed modification:
i.e. a contractual framework with W3C rights and obligations, that 9 Liaisons |
I agree to clarify what an MoU is in the process document, using the definition above. We're not sure we need to have a long paragraph about liaisons as well? |
In the context of the W3C Process, an MoU is a formal agreement, |
I don't have the document with me - what does it say about liaisons?

I don't know why the language about Liaisons is there. This Is my proposed language: "The W3C Director may negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding with another organization. For the purposes of the W3C Process a "Memorandum of Understanding" ("MoU") is a formal agreement or similar contractual framework between W3C and another party or parties (other than agreements between the hosts or between hosts and W3C members for the purposes of membership and agreements related to the ordinary provision of services for the purposes of running W3C), that specifies rights and obligations of each party toward the others. These rights and obligations may include joint deliverables, an agreed share of technical responsibilities with due coordination, and/or considerations for confidentiality and specific IPR. The agreement may be called something other than a "Memorandum of Understanding," and something called a "Memorandum of Understanding" may not be an MoU for the purposes of the Process. |
