barrier to more lightweight standards work happening at OASIS is the fees –
currently the lowest-cost participation option is $300/year for individuals. I’d
like to see that go to $30 or even zero. Some of us involved in standards work at
OASIS are working on ways to do that.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
