[governance] net neutrality

[Lee W McKnight]

Sir Tim would make a great headliner for Nairobi, and his call for W3C's open standards certainly resonate.

W3C has been brilliant at staying out of political cross-fires even when touching on issues of major economic impact.

Though at least to me there's always been a touch of irony in an 'open' standards organization built on pricey memberships for multinationals predominantly.  Individuals need not apply, since there is no individual membership category.

Perhaps Sir Tim or at least the leadership of the Web Foundation would be interested in assisting in the leadership on this in Nairobi.
