Greetings Since it is the nature of organizations that have outlived their usefulness and governments to revisit and destroy those few things that they do get right, I would like to add my voice to those that have the acuity to see that the proposed RAND policy benefits only special interests and harms the public in general and Open Source projects in particular. I would further add that if you should give in to the greedy and avericious at the expense of the public and approve this thing, our group will throw their full support to forking and isolating the the propretary schemes. Your entire power is by the consent of those who adhere to standards and royalty free and open standards are of much greater importance than corrupt standards bodies or those that put financial gain above the public interest.
