Fwd: [Contract for the Web WGD] Endorse the Contract for the Web and participate in its launch!

W3m, Comm,

Marie-Claire and I have participated in this endeavor. As you can see below, there is an opportunity to endorse that contract in advance, ie, being on of the top endorser which, I would think, gives us some browny points.

On the other hands, the signature of the endorsement is to be made in the name of one's organization, ie, neither Marie-Claire nor should do that without a W3M approval.  I personally would be in favor of doing this. I *can* sign this, but I would think it is more appropriate if it is Jeff or Coralie who do that.

Ivan
