this email is basically a "me too" - i have nothing insightful to add to the discussion, i just want to register my opinion on: * a requirement for disclosure provisions (Section 7); i am in favor of a requirement for disclosure. furthermore, i believe there should be a requirement that non-disclosed patents be freely licensed for use by all, so there are no loopholes. * a procedure for launching new standards development activities as Royalty-Free Licensing Mode activities (sections 4 and 5); i believe that this is a fair and reasonable model, and upholds the current openness of web standards. * a procedure for launching new standards development activities as Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (RAND) Licensing Mode activities (sections 4 and 5); i am against this licensing model. as many people have said, much more eloquently than i can - web standards should be freely available for all to use. regards, lisa -- lisa lorenzin | lisa@1000plus.com | http://www.1000plus.com/lisa/ # find / -user your -name base -print | xargs chown us
