There is one thing in here which has great amusement appeal to me:

	g. ensure compliance with accepted International technical
	   standards in the provision and development of electronic
	   communications and transactions;

The protocol police!

It sounds like they're going to create an Industry Forum (GHANOG?),
which may produce a "voluntary industry code."

About like our housing code in the US.


That's going to be fun to watch.
