Josh,
To respond to your more specific question, I am willing to be part of
a mixed or all IxDA group working on a specific issue and am most
interested in items 5, 8, and 10 in the current top priorities list.

To build on Gabby's comment, we could bite off a small piece of #2.
What if IxDA members "adopted" various government sites, and
reviewed their key interactions?

Josh,
I'd like to tie this back to the mission of the IxDA and highlight two of
the points from that statement:
*
Evangelism* - Promoting awareness of the discipline, craft, and value of
interaction design and design research among businesses, academia,
consumers, and colleagues
*Innovation* - Ad

Thanks for all the input folks. Let me put a finer point on what
"participation" means.
Participation means that YOU feel motivated to work on one of these
10 initiatives. Do you? If so, how? Would you put a group of IxDA
members together to drive one of these initiatives forward? if not,

I am no fan of big government, but let's face it that some very large
initiatives simply need some regulatory heft behind them. Perhaps
this is one and I believe it should be explored.
The comments about keeping government out of creative efforts seem
odd. Are we better or worse off for having

The IxDA should absolutely participate in and support the US National
Design Policy.
The current draft proposal is attempting to shine a light on the
importance of Design and design in every day life. Why would IxDA not
want to help shape a national design policy? If the group decides

Certainly, it isn't perfect. However, I view it as a foot in the door.
This is the only venture in this direction I know of that seems to
have legs. I think it is worth getting behind, even if we don't agree
with everything on it.
Furthermore, let's pretend that it does have legs and actual

I agree with Philip for the most part, though I share Mark's split between
frustration and appreciation.
Although it's understandably a weird feeling to have government involvement

A few thoughts:

I particularly like 8, 9, & 10 but I feel that overall, the list is a bit

reconcile such ties to the US government when we're supposed to be an

I have said this before - on their blog site, in conversations with
DaveM, other places.
I think they are misguided bordering on clueless. It's one thing to

This effort frustrates me. I really appreciate and applaud the effort that
went into it. But items 2 and 3, while admirable, really have no business

Welcome to the Interaction
Josh,
I think this is a matter of not whether but how and to what extent.
I had been thinking about something like this for Obama's Citizen's
Briefing Book, but that is over and this is better anyway.
I'm curious about which items on the list were disagreed with. The
problem I see with the list
I'm in the 'absolutely not' column. The proposal is too airy-fairy
impractical with overtly political items ('carbon neutral', for
example) thrown in.
The United States is dealing with huge problems that would not have
been helped by 'design thinking'. And the last thing we need is
more levels of
Folk,
Recently, a group of leaders from various US design organizations
came together to discuss the question of a US National design policy.
This summit meeting resulted in 10 design policy recommendations,
which can be found here:
