declaring support for UN/CEFACT and for
migration/alignment of their standards with the
CC approach

Thoughts
More active participating is the key for
solving this issues in that time as you want
We believe that an endorsed IPR Policy
will start the ball rolling, especially for
more awareness,
more resources,
more active participation, and
support by major companies
