I've readed the "W3C in seven points", (http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Points/) that seems to define the philosophy of the consortium. I think you can approve RAND, but also you must change some of the points that define your self... becoming something else. First of all, the name: From "World Wide Web Consortium" it should be changed to "Private Wide Web Consortium" that seems more appropiated. Point 1. Universal Access, should be changed to 1. Universal Access(*) (*) if you have the money to pay RAND licences. Point 3. Trust should be completely removed, because if there is an economical interest, i canīt trust your decisions. When thre is an economical interest, you canīt prove that your decisions are PURELY based on the best way to "lead the Web to its full potential", so, you become non-trustable. Point 4. Interoperability, should be changed the same way to point 1. Recommendation: use a dollar sign ($) instead of an asterisk to mark the footnote, and add the marker to point 1 and 4. Point 4. Interoperability($) ($) if you have the money to pay RAND licences. Point 5. Evolvability. You will be creating interests against Evolvability if the "evolution" is from RAND to RF. it is obvious. I support approval of RAND, but if you make all of this changes, starting with the name. Regards. -------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? NEW from Yahoo!
