With the exception of a membership list, public statements made by the consortium will not include specific member names. 3.1.2 Members participating in interoperability testing may release test results to the trade press based only upon mutual consent of the participants. Under no circumstances is failure to interoperate or negative results of any kind to be disclosed without mutual consent of all participants. Members may not claim or imply that a product is certified by the IOL or by the consortium. 3.2 Interoperability Testing Results Information gathered through consortium activities relative to the operation of a particular product is private and will only be disclosed to the member who owns the product.
Some modes of failure require the involvement of one or more consortium members.
In this case the IOL representative will seek to facilitate the resolution of the failure by bringing together the parties involved in the problem in the most appropriate manner possible. Problems that are related to the specification itself, or are of general interest, may be communicated to the appropriate technical bodies in abstract form, without using the company or product name. 4.0 Security of Physical Equipment Only IOL staff or individuals under IOL staff supervision are allowed physical access to a member's equipment. The IOL is not to be used for obtaining performance measures that will be used in promotion or marketing material. Performance measurements may be taken only to address interoperability issues.
