标准知识产权与参与政策

• 1.1 This Policy applies to everyone who takes part in developing a Nexus Standard: contributors, working group participants, reviewers, editors and the organisations they represent (Participants). On Reports it applies to contributions that propose or apply a standard.
• 1.2 It complements the 贡献条款, which govern copyright and the confirmation of rights for every contribution.

• 2.1 GCRI Canada is the Secretariat and publisher of record of the Nexus Standards and receives every disclosure and notice under this Policy.
• 2.2 GCRI Canada leads the public-good Nexus Consortium as Lead Institution, Consortium Secretariat and lead contracting organisation. The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) retain independent institutional mandates as consortium stewards. Technology, infrastructure and service providers act at arm’s length and have no control over institutional governance, research, publications, national priorities or customer, sovereign and community data.

• 3.1 维持社会运转的 Nexus Standards are preparatory working drafts (2026). They are published for comment, testing and voluntary use, and they may change.
• 3.2 A Nexus Standard names external standards by identifier, body and link. It does not reproduce their text or stand in for them; each external standard stays with its steward and under its own licence.
• 3.3 National adoption, adaptation or reference of a Nexus Standard is a decision of the competent national institution under its own law.

• 4.1 A Participant discloses, as early as reasonably possible and in any case before the public last call of a draft, any patent or patent application it knows of, held by it or by others, that may contain claims necessarily infringed by implementing the draft.
• 4.2 A disclosure names the draft, the patent or application and its holder, and the part of the draft concerned. It is sent to 联系表单 and is published with the draft. No Participant is required to search patent records.

• 5.1 A Participant commits to license, on a royalty-free basis and on reasonable terms, any claims it holds that are necessarily infringed by implementing what a Nexus Standard requires. The commitment covers implementation of the standard only, and the detailed terms are those of the 贡献条款.
• 5.2 During the last call of a draft, a Participant may exclude a named patent or application from its commitment by written notice. An exclusion is published with the draft, and the editors consider whether to change the draft.

• 6.1 The text, registries, schemas and data of the Nexus Standards are open (CC BY 4.0), and reference code is open (Apache-2.0), from the date each item is publicly released. The standards can be implemented without any proprietary software or service.
• 6.2 A tool, platform or service that implements a Nexus Standard is not part of the standard, and its terms are its own.

• 7.1 Conformance with a Nexus Standard is declared by the implementer in an implementation conformance statement with its evidence. A statement is listed as submitted; the programme does not verify or approve it, and it never becomes a certification.
• 7.2 An implementation may be described as conformant on the strength of its own statement only, never as approved or vouched for by the programme.

• 8.1 Participants do not discuss or agree prices, costs, wages, bids, markets, customers, output or any other competitively sensitive matter, and do not exchange such information. This applies equally to meetings of the industry councils of Global Risks Alliance and to every working group, call and event of the programme.
• 8.2 Every meeting has a written agenda circulated in advance and minutes that record what was discussed. A participant who sees a discussion turn to a competitively sensitive matter objects, has the objection minuted and, if the discussion continues, leaves.
• 8.3 Participation is open on non-discriminatory terms, decisions are recorded with their reasons and recorded dissent, and no standard may be used to exclude a competitor or a technology without technical justification.

• 9.1 This Policy are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules that would apply another law.
• 9.2 Disclosures, exclusion notices and questions go to 联系表单.
