1) The total list is a draft and they are looking for feeback. Its a

opposed to getting invited to the awards ceremony itself, but I can
move on from that.
"After party" invite?
Folks... IxD is not even a "legit" profession yet You're still arguing
and debating what the design curriculum is! Let's not get ahead of
ourselves, shall we? 8^)
2) Government in any professional space.
I think I'm in agreement with Dave on the larger point.
Further, maybe I'm reading the proposal wrong, but none of the points
brought up in it are about government interference in the design
sector per se, and all about making sure the government itself follows
good design practices and standard, recognizes it, supports it, and in
doing so, legitimizes it in the general population. As Dave pointed
out, just look to Europe or Asia to see how well it's worked out for
them. (The answer: Far better than for us here in the U.S.)
I'm not sure where some of the reactions on this list are coming with
regard that these proposals are about dictating design in any fashion
at the private sector level. How on earth can setting *standards* for
legibility and readability for government documents *produced* by
government workers be a bad thing? Are standards only for the W3C or
the IEEE and not for anyone else?
