Hi Anivar,<br>
<br>
The point about the encoding of data is good. When we say
'proprietarisation of standards' would that not include data encoding
standards also? I sort of assumed it would..<br>
<br>
Anyways, since we already have signatures on the list we cannot change
it now :-( But we'll make sure that in our campiagning going forward,
there will be stress on data encoding standards also.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Vinay.<br>

<pre wrap="">I support the view. The Internet control should not be monopolised.
The decision has to sent by 1st Dec.

<pre wrap="">Vinay,
Count on our support. We are endorsing this (as no one spoke against
it so far). Hope we get some good traction at IGF meet.

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"
