Quote of the Day
by T. Colin Dodd
Weitzner, a lawyer and Washington insider before moving to the W3C, said making an event discussing government transparency less transparent was necessary because government officials could then speak more freely “without wondering how the press would interpret what they have to say.”
Heh.
Incidentally, the W3C writes the rules for the internet. Good to see the process is working so well.
From the W3C website.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. W3C’s mission is:
To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web.

Hm, historically W3C has already tried to go less transparent. Is it such weitzners that lend a hand at “helping speak more freely” behind the curtains?
