Hi all,

Is there a reason why eduGIAN is publishing various policy documents in
".doc" format?
(http://www.geant.net/service/eduGAIN/resources/Pages/home.aspx)

It seems to me one would not need to buy MS Word to be able to join
eduGAIN and read its documentation?

In addition these files leak information, like e.g. past revisions,
comments by named users etc. Is that information required as part of the
policy document?

Cheers,
Niels
