Dear All, Based on the various feedback, discussion and views expressed in the google docs, I have drafted a final letter to the NTA and MoIC. As today is the last date for accepting suggestions, I am now going to send it to NTA. However, if you still have any more views or suggestions, please do share it there. It will keep us on our toes on the various issues and our argument of making out ICT policy more FOSS friendly.
