Subject: The Joy of Standards

Hi Dave - 

I thought you & the IP list might enjoy a brief essay that Lee Vinsel & I wrote for the New York Times, which they 
published yesterday in the Sunday Review and titled “The Joy of Standards.”  
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/16/opinion/sunday/standardization.html.  

Anyone craving more than 1200 words on standards could pick up my book Open Standards & the Digital Age 
(http://arussell.org/open/), or pre-order Lee’s book on auto regulation/standards “Moving Violations” 
(https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/moving-violations).  Joanne Yates & Craig Murphy also have a much-anticipated 
book out this summer, “Engineering Rules: Global Standard Setting since 1880” 
(https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/engineering-rules).  

Cheers,

Andy
