Who controls microformats?
An open community. Microformats are open standards originally licensed under Creative Commons Attribution, and placed into the public domain since 2007-12-29. Much of the work here was begun on Technorati’s Developer Wiki, and Technorati contributed the work done there to the microformats community when microformats.org was established. The microformats.org domain is registered to Rohit Khare (see Whois microformats.org), CommerceNet is graciously hosting the servers, but claims no control over microformat standards. Anyone may follow the established process and contribute towards the development of microformat standards. Any required governance (and very little has been required) of the microformats IRC channel, wiki, and mailing lists is discussed by a group of volunteer administrators.
