It will be good if you can expand the description of
"Proprietarisation of standards and code that build the Internet"
little bit. if it is not too late.  The current description only
addresses "use of proprietary and closed standards and code in
building the Internet system.".  Along with the focus to make
Internet protocols as free standards we have to point on data encoding
too.

internet should not be polluted by privately owned data formats like
mp3, mp4, flash, ppt, doc, DRM embeded media etc . This needed
toprevent 1 st point  "Increasing corporatisation of the Internet"
