Email has been and continues to be the fundamental communication tool                   and a significant driver of freedoms on the Internet. But it is also                   threatened by new non-standards-based, closed and centralized messaging                   platforms. To prevent this erosion, the public deserves an alternative that is secure and reliable,                   while  protecting our privacy, enhancing our productivity and serving as a                   platform for current and future forms of messaging.
