<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">This is a thoughtful proposal. You might
want to revisit the statement in the Summary of the problem.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">Excerpt;</span></p>
<blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><span lang="EN-MY"><i>At the same time, it is understandable that
the justification of a request for resources can be confidential as it can
provide insights into a business plan to competitors. However, it is also
obvious that in the Internet business, time passes very quickly and the need
for confidentiality vanishes very quickly. It is difficult to believe, for
example, that you request resources for the next 5 years, and only in year 5,
your business will be public.</i></span></blockquote><div> </div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">I find this section very confusing. Can you
explain to me how in <i>"Internet business, time passes very quickly and the
need for confidentiality vanishes very quickly"</i>?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">While the use of Number resources may not
necessarily be guarded like the secrets of the coca
cola formula, but not less guarded if it is key to a business' private strategy. If resource usage is tied to the initial justification as
confidential, then it might be impossible to determine otherwise later, using
the algorithm of this proposal or any other text to change that in the
CPM. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">Resource request justification is well within the gray areas , and we
don't want to cast a shadow on it in the name of, "openness,
transparency, and fairness".</span></p>

transparency, and fairness and considering that we are dealing with community resources

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">Why is there a need to publish this justification?<br>
I believe only resources in dispute should be published, and this must only be
invoked by a court order. Risks of implementing this include copycat
justification and witch hunting from competition.</span></p>

before the publication with a draft of the summary to be published. In case
there are reasons (such as patents or similar ones), that avoid the publication

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-MY">Does giving 1 month to provide
alternative text give room to provide a different justification, or
to revalidate existing justification? How does the additional one year change
