Hi! Has anyone else been involved in EIF 2 and the definition of "open standards" for egovernment? Over the recent days it appears that the previous definition in EIF 1 didn't survive in the new version. Annoyingly the public consultation of EIF 2 seems to have ended a couple of weeks ago. The problem has been covered in media here: EU Wants to Re-define “Closed” as “Nearly Open” http://www.computerworlduk.com/toolbox/open-source/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=2620&blogid=14 The EIF 2 draft can be downloaded here: http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/European_Interoperability_Framework_2_draft%2C_2009 And EIF 1 here: http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/3473 Those of you who are in touch with people in EU governments may want to contact them to make sure they are aware of the issue. Regards, Peter Krantz
