If you believe that any material posted on the OpenNTF Alliance website (OpenNTF.org), including in any OpenNTF Alliance repository, infringes a copyright that you hold, or for which you are the authorized representative of the holder, and you wish to have the material removed, the Act requires that you send the following to the OpenNTF Alliance copyright agent:

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are subject covered by this notification, a representative list of such works.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of the infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the OpenNTF Alliance to locate the material.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit the OpenNTF Alliance to contact you, such as name, address, phone number and, if available, email address at which you can be contacted.
