Thanks for setting this up. Glad to see that good ideas are being borrowed. Even the language on Change.gov is changing the way people think about their interaction with govt: Your Administration, just as an example. Back to this effort. I realise this is under a topic of Industry Development. But why? 'Digital Economy' is last century. The 21st century is a focus on community development, a much broader perspective. Economic issues are only a part of the impact of new communication systems. The Economic perspective isn't doing too well right now, is it? Bottom line: I'd start from a different starting point so that the policy isn't so limited. Otherwise many people who can benefit from a digital communications policy will be left out. Stop with the stove pipes. Learn what networking is really about. Last questions: why is this limited to 18 days? Are those business days or calendar days? And why so close to the holidays?
