Hello All,
I don't know how many on this list might have heard about the US National Design Policy Initiative (http://designpolicy.org), which grew out of the National Design Summit of November 08. The summit group published a report containing 10 policy proposals that they have circulated in the highest levels of government, including Mr. O. I've looked the document over and find it disappointing, for the reasons mentioned in this critique, http://designactivism.net/archives/150
I'm interested in hearing what other people think about it, perhaps off-list or over at designactivism.net would be the appropriate place?
Thanks,
Ann
