Withdrawal and Termination.
  1. Term
    The term of this agreement is 1 year from the date this agreement is countersigned by the Project. Upon the expiration of any term, this Project Charter will automatically renew for successive 1 year periods unless a party provides the other party with notice of its intent not to renew this Project Charter at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then current term.
  2. Withdrawal or Termination
    A Steering Member, Associate, or Contributor may withdraw from a Working Group or the Project at any time by notifying the Executive Director in writing, and that withdrawal is effective upon receipt of the notice. Upon a Supermajority Vote of all Steering Members (calculated without the vote of the Steering Member in question), a Steering Member, Associate, or Contributor may be terminated from the Project or withdrawn from a Working Group.
  3. Project Termination
    Upon a Supermajority Vote of the Steering Members, the Project will cease and terminate as of the effective date designated in that vote. The Executive Director will coordinate with the Joint Development Foundation Projects, LLC to facilitate that termination.
  4. Effect of Withdrawal or Termination
    Upon a Steering Member’s, Associate’s, or Contributor’s written withdrawal from a Working Group or upon the termination of its Project membership, all existing commitments and obligations with respect to the Project or Working Group, as the case may be, up to the effective date of withdrawal or termination will remain in effect, but no new obligations will be incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the patent licensing commitments shall continue to apply to any patent claims that would be subject to a patent licensing commitment for a Final Specification that are included in a Draft Deliverable 45 days prior to the effective date of withdrawal or termination, unless otherwise excluded in accordance with the Working Group intellectual property licensing mode.
