It will be good if you can expand the description of<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d">"Proprietarisation of standards and code that build the Internet"<br>
</div>little bit. if it is not too late. The current description only<br>
addresses "use of proprietary and closed standards and code in<br>
building the Internet system.". Along with the focus to make<br>
Internet protocols as free standards we have to point on data encoding<br>
too.<br>
<br>
internet should not be polluted by privately owned data formats like<br>
mp3, mp4, flash, ppt, doc, DRM embeded media etc . This needed<br>
toprevent 1 st point "Increasing corporatisation of the Internet"<br>
</blockquote></div><br><br>Can we add a sentence to that paragraph .<br>
<br>
The use of open standards and formats has to be enforced in the
Internet, to prevent the users from the forced adherence to
non-standard or closed utilities and to ensure the people's freedom of
accessibility to information and knowledge. <br>
