Just FYI that I wrote another article, this time on "permissionless innovation" and the role of open standards. We've talked about these topics earlier, but this has been on my mind recently - I've been traveling in recent weeks and talking about the roles of various organisations and styles of standards-making with many people. (Currently at the WTPF in Geneva…) Here's the article: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2013/05/permissionless-innovation/ Comments and thoughts appreciated, as always. Jari
