Who will run the GPO?

I know most of my classmates probably noticed this, but I thought I'd post it here since I was just talking about the GPO - "Web Archivist Campaigning to Head GPO."

Note Malamud's 7 point plan to improve GPO -

1) Lead the effort to make all primary legal materials produced by the U.S. readily available. [LAUREN says - What does readily available mean? (Since we all know just putting a document on a website, or in GPOAccess, does NOT mean it's "readily" available!)]

2) Work more closely with libraries and reform the Federal Depository Library Program to give them more support. [LAUREN says - REFORM to give MORE support, sounds suspicious to me!]

3) Establish a United States Publishing Academy to provide workforce development and vocational training for students on how to print and publish effectively. [LAUREN says - What does effectively mean in the electronic environment, and is he even talking about e-publishing or is he still talking about old-school print publishing?]

4) Form a blue ribbon commission to reexamine the design of passports and other secure documents. [LAUREN says - To what degree is this a valuable use of anyone's time?]

5) Create more materials for the public domain, both as fully produced books as well as freely available master files for others to use and remix. [LAUREN says - Not sure the concept of MORE printed materials will fly.]

6) Radically change how the government presents information on the Internet by means such as installing a cloud for .gov to use or upgrading the government's video capabilities. [LAUREN says - Whee! Do we think this is realistic, and on what timetable?]

7) Be fully transparent in its own financial affairs and a forceful and effective advocate for the public domain. [LAUREN says - Really? Because I am pretty sure the mission statement already says they advocate for the public domain, but it's good to continue pushing this.]

For extra fun, check out Malamud's "prepared statement." Love the uber-subtle likening Malamud to Ben Franklin, America's first public printer, inventor of bifocals, and no friend to those who would forsake civil liberties in favor of security ("They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety").
