+# Web Infrastructure Search Endowment (WISE)

+Browsers, and the browser engines that power them, provide critical public infrastructure to over five
+billion people. To cover the high cost of maintaining such complex feats of engineering, browser 
+vendors and search engine providers have improvised a system in which money is levied from search 
+revenue and distributed to browsers. Over the years, this ad hoc system has succeeded in providing some
+funding to browsers but it suffers from a muddled lack of transparency and has known detrimental effects
+on funding attribution, concentration, search quality, privacy, misinformation, publisher revenue, and 
+opinion pluralism. This specification captures the web community's experience with the current system so 
+as to refine requirements and formalizes a browser/search levy that improves on the current one and 
+addresses its shortcomings.
