I am not sure on the missing piece yet, and my feeling is that it has to
do with an individual's response in the system ( referred as content in
this note ). This note may be related to goal items 1,2,4 in [
introducing the Mozilla Manifesto ].

 From the principles scenario it's not clear how _content_ relates to
the software entity, the Internet medium, and/or the individual entity.
It's clear that the Internet and software as being open, but I would
also put a word on our support to the information/content part.

We probably don't want to be too strict in the text in favor to open
content because it would impact the balance between commercial and
public today. But I think it is possible to be stronger on our
endorsement to Open processes, and possibly processes to promote greater
interoperability with information in general.

For example item 6) states the technological interoperability. Maybe if
we could expand this item to be a bit more precise on the type of Open
aspect that can promote better interoperability for the Internet and its
individuals and systems.

We expected broad discussion of the manifesto in many different forums, including this one. However, most discussions happened on the mozilla.governance list or were brought there. 

Closing the entire family of Manifesto bugs.
