On the timelines, they were very prescriptive in the Open Government Directive, and that was extremely helpful, because it also created this kind of high-energy movement by the agencies to meet this very tight timeframe. It was extremely useful. By the same token, there are no penalties for missing the deadline.
This is a difficult thing. What would be the penalties? What do you do? Dock an agency's pay? There are no simple solutions to this. Do you put a gold star for those that are on time and give no stars for agencies that are not on time? If we could come up with a better structure for creating the kinds of enforcement mechanisms that are needed, that would be wonderful. But I do think that without this timeline, we would not have gotten as far we have gotten. That's incredibly important to have.
To be honest with you, I could talk to you forever, but I don't know the answer to your second question. I think in the process we're going through in the United States this is always going to be a give and take about getting the right information in a timely manner, in a timely and accurate matter, and pushing the agencies to do more. A central element, though, is that it must be timely. It needs to be accurate, it needs to be findable, and it can't be coming with cost unless there is some strange, very unique need.
