Hi Harish, From the council members names and the organizations they represent, I can see that there is probably no issues of "stacking" etc by Microsoft. Is this correct? Can we ask for explanation from the ITSC regarding this? Does Singapore have something akin to FOIA (US) or even RtA (Rights to Information Act, India) under which we can demand for more info, as to why a No recommendation by TC was turned into Yes by the council. I am sure folks need to explain to the concerned citizens Regards Anand > > The voting received exactly 2/3s majority. > > Regards, > Harish Pillay > ITSC Council Member > Singapore > [1] http://www.itsc.org.sg > > _______________________________________________ > Slugnet mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
