    Dear All,<br>
    <br>
    I am in support of these efforts to increase the openness of
    standards.  I also do not wish to make the best, the enemy of the
    good.  So please take the following in that light.<br>
    <br>
    In full consideration open standards are a legal, political,
    operational (of the Standards Development Organization, SDO) and
    technical issue.  ISOC is addressing the legal and political issues,
    some of the operational issues and few of the technical issues. 
    Consider: "Interoperability" is often technically difficult to
    achieve and must be balanced with increased costs (development or
    per unit) by the SDO.  Guidelines would be of considerable help as
    implementers prefer to obsolete earlier versions and users (often
    not well represented in technical SDOs) usually do not want their
    earlier investments negated.  Backward compatibility, a part of
    interoperability, is often only partial.   Interoperability becomes
    more difficult to achieve as systems become more complex and the
    need for testing (beyond conformance testing ) to verify
    interoperability may become a necessary part of standardization. 
    Backward compatibility testing may be very complex (bordering on
    impossible) if the standard is not technically designed to support
    this concept.<br>
    <br>
    For those interested in a broader view of what an open standard
    could be, please see: "Open Standards a Call for Action" <a
      href="http://www.csrstds.com/OpnStdsCallforAction.pdf">http://www.csrstds.com/OpnStdsCallforAction.pdf</a>
    which was presented to a conference at the ITU in 2008.<br>
