FYI The latest draft of the Open Definition 2.1 is available here: https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/blob/master/source/open-definition-2.1-dev.markdown
The diff between version 2.0 and 2.1 is here: https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/compare/6593b9607805079850323f16394bc7d4e2f974bd...21f396c9a125873e9b70333e2e415e7859f9517b The discussion on this has largely quieted down and as chair I expect to ask the Advisory Council to vote on this in the next week or two. Feel free to comment on the od-discuss list and join the discussion.
