science and technology agencies" by 1/7/10 (see the Alliance
for Taxpayer Access call to action, http://bit.ly/5z1GFW).

The online discussion is being conducted on the OSTP blog in
three ten-day periods that cover these topics:

December 10–20: Implementation

December 21–31: Features and technology

January 1–7: Management
