Objet : Re: [theora] feedback European Commission pilot assessment
I must apologize for a little confusion here.
Ivo has mistaken an initial draft response with a final formal response.
Like many other open organizations our in-progress work is usually
publicly visible. To reduce the potential for confusion I've moved
the internal work to different location.
We are diligently working on a response but have not yet had an opportunity
to collect input from all of the interested and relevant contributors.
We will supply a copy of the final document when it is available.
Thank you.
