Reasonable Technical Method. Content Provider shall provide written notice to AACS LA of the proposed use of such a technical method as specified in Section 5.2.1.2, which such notice shall include reasonable technical detail describing such technical method. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, AACS LA shall review such technical method, evaluate whether such method is a reasonable technical method and respond to Content Provider as to whether it (a) approves the use of such method on such basis, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (b) needs more time to evaluate such method, in which event AACS LA shall specify to Content Provider a reasonable period of additional time and shall provide to Content Provider its determination with regard to the use of such method within such period (it being agreed that AACS LA may request only one such extension with respect to a given technical method). In the event that AACS LA does not approve the use of such technical method, AACS LA shall describe in reasonable detail the technical and/or other reasons that AACS LA has determined that such technical method is not reasonable. Content Provider shall not decline any Authorization based on such technical method until such method is approved by AACS LA as described above. [Note to Content Provider: AACS LA is not currently aware of any such reasonable technical method and does not, by this provision, assume any obligation to develop one. Further, to the extent that a given technical method involves a particular output technology, AACS may discuss such method with the licensor of such output technology.]
