      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
        moz-do-not-send="true"
        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>
