"What we would need to find is the IPR policy prior to revision (or even better, all of its various revisions over the last 7 years or so). No luck on my part thus far...."

While it would be helpful to see prior revisions of ETSI's IPR policy, the fact that the latest revision to the Policy addresses the very issue being debated, whether Q had an obligation to inform the ETSI of its essential IPRs even though it was not a participant in the development committee/working group for GSM/GPRS/EDGE standard, suggests that prior versions of the Policy was silent on this issue.

For all we know, this issue was addressed in the latest revision as a direct result of the discovery that Q's essential IPR was part of the GSM/GPRS/EDGE standard. Seems to me that since Q sued NOK on 11/4/2005 on this matter, the latest revision to the ETSI Policy is likely an effect rather than a cause of the litigation.
