[governance] Revised Draft IGC Statement #DRM in HTML5

[Ian Peter]

havent read this closely as I am travelling but I have to agree with McTim. 
The sentiment is good but language is unfortunate.

instead of "kill innovation", maybe "create difficulties for innovation"
instead of "destroy interoperability", maybe "have a detrimental effect on 
interoperability"
maybe drop human rights altogether and just refer to "serious difficulties 
in the intellectual property area" (and perhaps elaborate on why a standard 
could be used in a world of great confusion as regards patents, 
patentability and copyright law to limit creativity and create unfortunate 
precedents).

Over The Top.

It reads like a bad teenage polemic.  "kill innovation" (demonstrably
false) , "serious violation of human rights" (seriously), "destroy
interoperability" (also demonstrably false), etc.
