Hi,
Rishabh, JT and Arun have already given important points,
In addition to that please consider the main line roughly as follows.
1] Use of FOSS or BOSS must be made mandatory for ICT Education or in any activity in education.
(They are making sanskrit mandatory as per input draft)
Only recommendation or preference has not worked so far. Educational Institutions can easily find loopholes.
2] A separate and independent body to ensure that it is implemented properly.
3] Proper and effective platform for complaints regarding Violation of Open Source Policy.
Also please let us know who is working on first draft of petition to avoid duplication of work.
To be frank, I am not very good at drafting otherwise would have prepared it. Please forgive.
I think we can upload the petition latest by 15 July so that sufficient number of signatures can be obtained till 30th July..
Regards, Milind
