Description
Under the current process & patent policy, if a Member or Invited Expert leaves a Working Group, the "departing participants have a 60-day Exclusion Opportunity after their actual resignation to exclude Essential Claims." (Process § 3.6. Resignation from a Group, Patent Policy § 4.2. Exclusion and Resignation From the Working Group)
So this covers the case where an organization leaves a group, but AFAICT there isn't an analogous 60-day Exclusion Opportunity given to organizations when work leaves a group (e.g., by a deliverable being removed from a charter).
