Leading government officials from thirteen nations meeting at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet and Society are releasing a report calling for the international adoption of open standards for information technology. "The Roadmap for Open Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Ecosystems" (.pdf) describes concepts and best practices for the implementation of open standards.
"If you're using technology to alleviate poverty, then openness is a compelling alternative," said David Satola, a senior counsel at the World Bank. "There are key elements in this report that could be used to shape national policies on technology standards."
The document is being presented to the World Bank.
