Suggestions for 2015
➲ Create data.iso.org➲ Remove logins for people to get and mash up
standards➲ If ISO is to remain relevant, it has to drastically
change the business model and let “citizen-led standards making” take root

Some observations II➲ Multi-lingual: transifex.net➲ Standard wiki with locking – available today al-
ready – perhaps etherpad and drupal➲ Can OpenText be run on a
federated/distributed manner?➲ Using the Cloud – Google Docs/Calendar. Note
the lack of distributed environments – single point of failure
