Jean blogged about this:



Mary Rundle and Chris Conley,  Ethical Implications of Emerging
Technologies: A Survey (UNESCO 2007), pg. 81 (PDF pg. 82),

"UNESCO should meanwhile support open standards and protocols that
are generated through democratic processes not dominated by large
corporations.

"The use of OpenDocument Format and other open formats should also be
encouraged as they help mitigate lock-in to certain technologies.140 Other
initiatives to consider include pursuing free and open software, as well as
the "Roadmap for Open ICT Ecosystems"141 developed last year.
