Yes, this should be our next step. I am told that DIT will soon publish a list of standards in key areas and we should circulate this to key organizations and ask them to confirm to the standards mentioned therein. Meanwhile, can someone create an "Open Standards Compliance List" under "Interventions" on the FOSSCOMM.in web site? We can list repeat offenders like MCA 21, Income Tax and others on this page and document the letters and follow ups we send to these organizations there. Venky
