2. KENDRA MANIFESTO - WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK

We need a succinct manifesto for people to align behind. Would you sign up 
to the following Kendra Manifesto (current draft)?:
 

We, the participants of Kendra Initiative, support the creation of an open 
content delivery platform that will:
 
Enable all content consumers to:
- Browse and search the global content catalogue using the application of 
their choice.
 
- Pay for content using the payment system of their choice.
- Pay for content using the payment methodology of their choice.
Enable all content owners to:
- Publish their content to the global content catalogue.
- Attach business rules to their content defining cost, methodology and 
context.
 
- Collect payment for content using the merchant system of their choice.

Early summer 2004 we will release our Manifesto. We will do a lot of press 
and marketing - especially to consumers and content creators that are most 
frustrated with the current lack of interoperability.
