===================

*In Support of Open Standards: Release of the Open ePolicy Group  
Roadmap Report*

The Berkman Center released the Roadmap for Open Information and  
Communication Technologies (ICT) Ecosystems on Sept 9. The Roadmap  
demonstrates how to build our technological environment to foster  
interoperability and growth. From the report: "Technology’s  
transformative power has always been a source of great expectation  
and challenge. Today, globalization, fueled by information and  
communication technologies (ICT) is rapidly changing every society.  
Our drive towards globalization creates a new set of unique demands  
on government, business, and our everyday lives. Increasingly,  
decision makers in all fields are looking to technology to provide  
solutions and drive desired changes by commingling local, national,  
and global resources in innovative ways." The Roadmap was produced by  
a collaboration of public, private, and non-governmental experts from  
every region of the world, all of whom joined together under the  
auspices of the Open ePolicy Group.

Prof. Charles Nesson presented the report in Washington, DC. To find
