I would suggest the following phrases:
1. A BCI_Protocol may be private or approved by the IBIS Open Forum.
2. BCI_Protocol names beginning with the prefix “IBIS” are reserved for
protocols approved by the IBIS Open Forum.

Hi All,
Sorry to have to revisit this discussion, but I have some questions about the
new language. I believe Bob properly captured what was discussed in the
meeting, but I think it's still confusing.
We have one sentence:
"A BCI_Protocol may be private, published, or approved by the IBIS Open
Forum."
What is the difference between published and "approved by the IBIS Open
Forum."? If there is no difference, then should we remove published or combine
it with approved?
If there is a difference, and protocols can be published (basically just made
public?) by something other than the IBIS Open Forum, then I think the
following sentence needs to be revised.
"BCI_Protocol names beginning with “IBIS” are reserved for future protocols
adopted and published."
Protocol names beginning with "IBIS" would be for protocols approved by the
IBIS Open Forum, right? Not just "published"?
Perhaps the use of "approved" in one sentence and "adopted" in the other is
also part of the issue?
Thanks,
Curtis
