Barack Obama's change.org <http://change.org/> website is accepting
requests for ideas and projects to be implemented during his term.
Knowing that he's all for technological innovation, and that several
successful experiments with e-democracy were done inside Second Life®,
let's try to push for even more. Andabata Mandelbrot
<http://andabata.blogspot.com/> is proposing that we vote to create an
international metaverse - the Internet equivalent of virtual worlds

My response in the comments section:
There are already several competing groups trying to accomplish this.
The SL-related one involves the AWG/OGP initiatives started by Linden
Lab. I think that requesting better *funding* for such groups might be
appropriate, but calling for standardization at this point is premature.
Let 3 or 4 or 5 such groups compete with equal government funding and
see what shakes out, or merges, or whatever.
