@humanetech @bob @Bernard @NGIZero @EC_NGI @dachary Having an organization to maintain standards requires at least enough capital to have full time staff. At present that's not something that we have. When you look at how it works for other internet standards it always comes down to something like BigTech stuffing the board of directors with the money ultimately coming from advertising.

I agree with that notion.

And I think its high time that we look into different ways to get something similar, but on our terms and principles and serving the Commons.

There's a lotta boring chores involved in doing such work and stuff amounts to full time engagement. Where for a #FOSS project it is already very hard to find contributors, here the challenge is even tougher.

A lot of the work would go into forging something to which implementers align.
