    Andrea> "On 16 August 2001 the W3C made public a proposal to substantially
    Andrea> change their patent policy framework. Amongst the changes is support
    Andrea> for a new licensing model (called RAND) that legitimises the W3C's
    Andrea> role in developing and promoting standards that could require the
    Andrea> payment of royalties.

    Andrea> [...]

    Andrea> The last call review period closes on 30 September 2001 (two days from
    Andrea> the time I am writing this abstract). The W3C is aware of the
    Andrea> importance of this issue and states "As the policy has ramifications
    Andrea> on the Web community at large, and as the Web Community have
    Andrea> consistently helped W3C in its efforts, views from this diverse
    Andrea> community are essential."[1] However, as evidence of how well this
    Andrea> issue has been publicised, only two relevant public comments have been
    Andrea> made to the W3C archive to date. It is a matter of urgency that you
    Andrea> make your views known. A final policy is expected from the W3C by
    Andrea> February 2002."

    Andrea> E' il caso che ASSOLI faccia presente la sua opinione in materia?

Siamo presi da  un sacco di avvenimenti contemporanei  e dubito che si
riesca  a far  prendere  una posizione  rapida all'associazione  sulla
questione : se invece tu  ci preparassi una relazione, rapida e facile
da leggere credo che la  possibilità di una presa di posizione aumenti
e molto!
