Therefore, ISO/IEC JTC 1 should not develop Linux specifications by itself but transfer existing de facto specifications to international standards through either PAS transposition process or Fast track process. Also, any international standards for Linux should not contain an interface or a behavior that has no open source implementation. ----------------------------------------------------------
