Hi, all. I'll admit I'm still working through all the archives, but wanted to send this out. In the Background section of the current draft, the focus is solely on the use of W3C standards, which seems to disregard existence or use practices of standards within ISO. (A similar thread is in the first section on Transparency and Participation.) Thus it's unclear whether this document is 1. designed to assist governments in implementing and integrating best practices for openness and transparency in all use, or 2. designed to highlight and promote W3C standards only. I am concerned that the lack of standards for audio and video, for imaging, as well as for recognized SO-standard document and archiving formats will actually limit the availability and exposure for open access. The lack of ISO reference materials, already in broad use, makes the document feel weaker. Should the scope of materials be expanded? davemc -- Dave McAllister Director, Standards and Open Source 650-523-4942 (GC) 408-536-3881 (Office) Dwmcallister (Skype, Aim, YIM) http://blogs.adobe.com/open
