Annapolis' new chicken ordinance is part of a bigger trend
The census of creatures in our neighborhoods is adding new categories.
Annapolitan chickens are the latest, as this week Mayor Josh Cohen signed an ordinance welcoming small flocks of hens, but no roosters, on a three-year trial.
Of course there are conditions, thoughtfully debated by the City Council. You'll need permission from all homeowners whose property abuts yours; if you're a renter, your own property owner must agree. If that goes well, you'll still have to place your coop and attached secure enclosure as far from the property line as your neighborhood zoning requires; five feet is the universal minimum, but it could be more. Your whole chicken yard must also be inspected by the city.
(Find guidelines walking you through the permitting process at sustainableannaapolis.com.)
As you're no doubt aware, Annapolis' chicken ordinance is part of a bigger trend. Chickens are the latest outpost in America's return to our farm roots. Their presence is aggressively popping the meniscus of consciousness.
Down in south Anne Arundel County where I live, chickens are getting to be common as dogs or cats, but in greater numbers. They're a lovely sight pecking in grass and gravel, often along the roadside because fences won't contain them.
So far, I've not seen a chicken flattened, as is too often the fate of the wilder creatures with whom we share our land and roads: squirrels, opossums, raccoons, groundhogs, deer, the occasional fox and turtles.
None of my property-abutting Fairhaven neighbors owns chickens, as an acre is Anne Arundel's minimum property for chicken-rearing. Calvert's minimum is three acres. Down the road a mile or so there's a rooster in the flock. We know that because his cockadoodle-do punctuates the morning. I like the sound better than any alarm clock, and much better than the sounds of heavy traffic and unmuffled racers that are more familiar on our rural roads. But if Mr. Rooster lived next door, I might not enjoy his proximity.
Proximity is one among dozens of signs that chickens are among us. From one chicken owner, my acquaintance has grown to a dozen. Some are considerable landholders; others raise their flocks in suburban back yards.
The trend has taken to the Internet, as well: Facebook.com/AnnapolisChickens informs an active community of all the chicken news. Of which there is plenty.
Gambrills General Store's recent Spring Open House highlighted poultry-raising resources, among other back-to-the-earth themes.
"I think people want to get back to nature and know where their food is coming from," said storeowner Chuck Kinsey. "We've seen an increase in the number of people buying chicks to raise in their backyard, as well as in garden plants and soil. People want to become more self-sustained."
Anne Arundel Community College offers a noncredit course in Raising Chickens, WIS-315 Sustainable Living.
Homestead Gardens is offering chicken seminars, too.
At www.healthybirds.umd.edu, the Maryland Cooperative Extension "provides the resources needed to begin raising a small flock as well as improving production of your existing flock."
Poster Cindy Shea notes, "a whole rack up front at the library on West Street totally devoted to chickens!!"
This is more than a grassroots trend: Williams-Sonoma has jumped on the bandwagon and offers an assortment of upscale-rustic chicken coops by mail.
You don't have to raise the chickens to enjoy their eggs: while months ago I scratched for local eggs, now I can choose from a half-dozen suppliers.
Clearly, this is a movement with no end in sight. Home gardens are all very nice, and these are salad days when my spinach, lettuce and herbs are growing faster than I can keep up with. Friends in their own cycle of abundance are offering gifts of lovely bunches of homegrown French breakfast radishes. But gardeners, even master gardeners, are no longer in the avant-garde.
Even chickens have competition at the forefront of the fresh, local food movement. Emu-egg farmers, dairy-cow managers and meat-animal farmers are also our neighbors and swell the membership of Calvert County's Eat Local Group. Finding suppliers is easier all the time. You can buy locally grown meat, and often eggs, at My Butcher and More in Annapolis, Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville and Spider Hill Farm in Prince Frederick — and that's a short list.
But for now in Annapolis, don't plan to step up to ducks, turkeys goats or beef cattle. Chickens are the only allowable livestock.

The RIBA has said it wants minimum space standards to 'form a core part' of the government's review of housing standards and building regulations
Earlier today communities minister Don Foster officially launched an independent review, headed by a new independent group of building industry experts, to simplfy 'the mass of rules imposed on developers and housebuilders' and remove 'unnecessary burdens and bureaucracy' (read the full review launch statement here).
The proposed red tape cull, which was leaked to The Guardian last weekend, is part of the government's drive to get more homes built and stimulate growth.
Although the RIBA welcomed proposals to declutter the 'hundreds of standards', the institute said that any new regulatory landscape should include minimum space standards.
RIBA president Angela Brady said: 'However, while rationalisation is important, is it critical that consumers are protected and that homes are fit for purpose for people, as well as viable for developers.
'Robust, workable standards will be essential if we are to build the high quality, sustainable and future-proofed homes'
'Consumer research has highlighted significant public unease at the poor quality of many of our new homes. Robust, workable standards will be essential if we are to build the high quality, sustainable and future-proofed homes that the Government has said its wants to see. The standards developed will have to give Local Authorities the scope to promote high quality design and set ambitious environmental targets.
'We welcome the themes identified in the four initial working groups set up by the Government but, following extensive consumer research, we will be keen to see that minimum space standards form a core part of this review. The provision of adequate minimum space standards across all tenures will be essential if we are to provide ensure that new homes are, sustainable, fit for purpose and are flexible enough to meet future needs.'
Foster insisted that, contrary to some initial fears, essential safety and accessibility protections would remain untouched in the review which will be led by PRP's Andy Von Bradsky, City of London surveyor and building control expert David Clements, planning specialist Paul Watson and developer Kirk Archibald.
Despite assurances from Foster that the 'steamlined' regulations would uphold 'high sustainability and quality standards', Paul King, the chief executive of the UK Green Building Council feared any shake-up would result in creating further roadblocks for developers. He said: 'We remain concerned however that this self-proclaimed 'radical and fundamental review of the entire framework of building regulations' will create considerable uncertainty that is more likely to slow down housing delivery than speed it up.
'While we do believe that there is room for improvement in terms of rationalising the current range of voluntary standards, this must not be at the expense of delivering high quality, sustainable homes fit for the future.'
Announcing the review Don Foster said:
'The current array of different housing standards used in different parts the country is complex and counter-productive: confusing local residents, councillors and developers.
'This is why an urgent review has now started, bringing the government together with housebuilders, planners, councils and architects to establish what the unnecessary measures are that we can cut out of the system, whilst ensuring buildings are still made to exacting standards.
'I want to see a simpler set of housing standards that people can easily understand and that free up developers and councils to get on with the job of building the high quality new homes we so badly to get more first time buyers and families onto the housing ladder.'

Story highlights
- Virgin Australia says it is manually checking in customers
- British Airways flights in Johannesburg experience delays
- The system is used by more than 300 airlines
An outage at the airline reservation system Sabre caused headaches for airlines around the world early Tuesday morning.
The outage lasted about two and a half hours.
"Sabre is experiencing a system issue," the company said in a tweet shortly after it began. "Our technology team is working as quickly as possible to resolve the situation."'
Virgin Australia manually checked in customers. Johannesburg's international airport said British Airways flights experienced delays. ANd Alaska Airlines said 50 flights failed to take off on time.
It wasn't clear Tuesday morning how widespread the problem was while it lasted.
The Sabre system is used by more than 300 airlines and more than 100 airports worldwide.
"More than 300 million passengers are put on airplanes every year using our technology," the company says.

I am writing a paper for my GIS MSc and trying to justify a hypothetical move for the EPA from proprietary GIS software to open source (QGIS).
Can anyone hazard an educated guess as to how much ArcGIS would cost an organisation the size of the EPA per year? Are we talking 100,000's or millions?

Anyway, the question is - what songs would you put on a Coolville sountrack?
So, give it some thought. Discuss.

BMW has confirmed plans for an X4 SUV, a spokesman told Autoweek.
As the name implies, the ute would slot in between the X3 and the X5 and likely get an M variant. BMW would distinguish the X4 from the other models with a bolder face and perhaps a curvier body--much in the manner in which the X6 stands out from the rest of the SUV line.
Autoweek first reported plans for BMW's Porsche Cajun fighter last fall ("Faceoff," Nov. 17, 2010).

One year after Stephen Harper finally won a majority government, his party is down in the polls and plagued by allegations of scandal, mismanagement and misrepresentation. Did the prime minister hit his peak in May 2011?
There is some indication that he did. The latest survey from Harris-Decima puts his Conservatives at only 30 per cent support, down ten points from the last election and three points behind Thomas Mulcair's New Democrats.
In fact, the Conservatives have tied or trailed the NDP in half the polls conducted since Mulcair's leadership win. In the half that gave the Tories the lead, the margins were small enough to be virtually insignificant.
The Conservative victory in May 2011 marked the zenith for the Tories not only in achievement but also in support. The party took 40 per cent of the vote in that election, a level of support they've seen in only only four polls since, three of which were taken within two months of the election. That's out of approximately 50 polls released in the last 12 months.
The results of the last six provincial elections also point to a lacklustre Conservative brand. Though Saskatchewan was the one hold out, right-of-centre parties took a step backward everywhere else. The New Democrats were re-elected in Manitoba and the Liberals in Prince Edward Island. The PCs under Tim Hudak lost the Ontario election after leading the unpopular Dalton McGuinty by double-digits, while in Newfoundland and Labrador they took a smaller share of the vote than in previous elections.
Alberta's rejection of Wildrose's more right-wing platform also represents a setback for the federal Conservatives. It was an open secret that the Tories in Ottawa were sympathetic to Danielle Smith's brand of conservatism, but Albertans opted for the more centrist Alison Redford - the kind of politician who hails from the old Progressive Conservative wing of the party rather than the Reform faction of Harper's past.
A lack of enthusiasm for the Conservatives registered in a new Nanos surveythat found 31 per cent of Canadians feel the NDP best represents "the views of voters who elected them." Only 21 per cent said the same about the Tories.
But the Conservatives are not quite dead yet - far from it. That same survey found the Conservatives scoring better than the NDP on "making decisions in the long term interests of Canada" and "managing policy priorities in a changing situation."
The party also raised $5.1 million in donations in the first quarter of 2012, more than the total raised by the Liberals ($2.4 million) and the NDP ($2 million) combined.
The Conservatives are still a formidable political machine with plenty of time to turn things around. But with each hit, the cumulative damage, often self-inflicted, takes its toll. Harper could well pull out another victory come 2015, but he may look back on the days of May 2011 as his party's high watermark.

Can you pinpoint the precise moment the Peyton Manning chase turned insane?
Was it the "Manning to Miami" billboard? Was it when the billboard came down in shame? Was it when a grainy YouTube video had everyone crowing "he's back?" Was it the live look-ins of Manning's jet landing, or his minivan cruising down the highway? Was it when a laughably bad hoax article fooled a ton of people? Was it when Shoney's offered Manning free pancakes every day of his Titans career? Was it when the omnipresent mystery team emerged, and it turned out to be the 49ers?
No, it was probably when Manning refused to perform a proper workout with any of his suitors, instead asking them to rely solely upon watching him throw at Duke, and those suitors said fine, we'll still give you $30 million guaranteed.

UN Member States 'Hypocrites' in Dealing With Sexual Exploitation & Abuse - Top Jordanian Diplomat (REPORT)
(HN, October 18, 2011) -- In astonishingly undiplomatic and candid language, senior Jordanian diplomat, Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein, said UN member states shoulder much of the blame for the lack of action on curbing abuses by UN peace keepers.
"To put it bluntly, we are cowardly hypocrites," he said.
Zeid, who has served as his country's ambassador to the US and as Permanent Representative to the UN, said that while the UN leadership often gets targeted for not taking action for abuses by UN peace keepers, UN member states often escape accountability.
Following allegations of widespread abuse being committed by UN peace keepers in the summer of 2004, Zeid was appointed as 'Advisor to the Secretary-General on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.' In the spring of 2005, he produced a report on this subject; praised subsequently by international civil society for having been 'revolutionary' in its approach. It provided, for the first time, a comprehensive strategy for the elimination of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in UN Peace Keeping Operations.
Zeid, who spent three years examining what he described as "every angle" of the topic, said "I know the script all too well" and expressed "intense frustration" when discussing the subject.
"The (UN) Secretariat over the last four or five years, has done as much as it can be expected to do...it's not perfect but has essentially hit a wall.
"It is us, the member states, who have created that wall. To put it bluntly, we are cowardly hypocrites.
"We go to the Security Council with our foreign ministers, and we speak of Resolution 1325 (the first resolution ever passed by the Security Council that specifically addresses the impact of war on women, and women's contributions to conflict resolution and sustainable peace, but at the same time we are instructing our lawyers, who should be negotiating a convention to create a legal regime..to extend jurisdiction extra-territorially to our nationals. We tell our lawyers to basically usurp any result in that regard.
"And essentially no one holds us to account for it.
Zeid made the riveting comments at a panel convened by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon following the screening of the film, The Whistleblower, which documents the true story of sexual exploitation and trafficking by UN peace keepers in post-conflict Bosnia (see story below).
"I am very pleased that a movie has been produced. Because unless a movie has been produced, or unless there is press comment on our conduct, we are not reliable, as member states, to do the right thing...all of the governments are responsible. There isn't one quarter or other that is more responsible than the other.
"And this effects the abuses across the board, in every area of illicit activity - by civilians and by military. And in actual fact, the civilians, the quality of their abuse was perhaps ever worse than the militaries."
Zeid referenced research that suggested the existence of an extensive pedophile ring in the eastern Congo. "God only knows how long the ring had been in place for."
Zeid said the UN is not a sovereign body, and hence, is limited in prosecuting staff - even for those commit murder, saying the worst penalty it can dish out is termination of service and revocation of pension contributions. "It is the member states that must exercise jurisdiction."
He complained that his recommendations made in 2005 were all rejected - for example, that court martials could take place in situ (in the country where the crime was committed) and that every peace keeper serving in the field give a sample of DNA for possible future legal action, that an independent investigative body be set up.
"We see a colossal failure of states to do the right thing," Zeid said, adding that even his own peace keepers have been found to have committed abuses.
"It is always very strange how when the UN has to answer to these questions (of abuse), the UN officials concerned has to field these rather testing inquiries..and the ambassador is no where to be found - hiding under that desk. And it's really shameful.
"You, members of the media, and members of the film industry, must keep lighting the fire under us. We are not reliable otherwise. You must do this."
Indeed, in the story portrayed in The Whistleblower, after stonewalling by UN officials, the allegations were taken to the BBC for public airing.
In a closing remark, Zeid said it was difficult for him to speak on the issue, and that he had given up a dinner with his mother-in-law to attend the panel. The Prince's remarks were made after the departure of Ban.
Because the panel was held in the evening and on a Friday, there were apparently few members of the media present.

Where do I start? I don't know if I can find the words to express how great my experience has been at Dr. Vu's dental office. I have lived in dental offices most of my life. For the past few years I have neglected my teeth. My mouth was a mess! I had several teeth missing and the ones I had left were terrible. I have been seeing Dr. Vu for almost 3 years now. Slowly but surely she has been repairing the mess my mouth was in. The difference is astounding! Just look at the pictures! Most people take for granted being able to smile freely. I hadn't smiled fully in years. I tried to find pictures of my old teeth to show people but couldn't find any because I would NEVER smile. Now I can smile freely! All my friends and people I haven't seen in a while see me and are blown away!
Dr. Vu and her entire staff have always been extremely professional, helpful and caring. Her office is gorgeous and has all the latest equipment. She utilized "Laser-Water" dentistry in her practice. Dr. Vu told me one "If I can't help people restore their smiles than I feel I have failed". She hasn't failed, she has changed my life! I will always be indebted to Dr. Vu for giving me back the freedom to be happy, to be able to smile and feel like I'm beautiful once again.

Microsoft Corp.'s new chief executive has signaled a new era for the company with a heavy finger on the delete key, erasing 18,000 jobs — 14% of the workforce.
Six months into the job, CEO Satya Nadella is targeting a red-tape culture that has rested on former glory. He seeks to restore a feisty spirit, capable of recapturing consumers lost to surging competitors.
"This is the most fundamental restructuring ever for Microsoft," said Merv Adrian, a market research analyst with Gartner Inc. "This time, it's less about playing catch-up and more about looking forward."
Investors embraced the move — pushing Microsoft stock up 45 cents, or 1.02%, to $44.53 on a down day for technology stocks. The shares hit their highest level since January 2000, when founder Bill Gates stepped down as CEO.
Most companies see profits rise after layoffs, but the real test for Nadella is whether he can recapture Microsoft's innovative past and compete for today's more demanding consumers.
"We will simplify the way we work to drive greater accountability, become more agile and move faster," Nadella wrote to employees. "We plan to have fewer layers of management, both top down and sideways, to accelerate the flow of information and decision making."
The biggest layoff in the company's 39-year history hit its Nokia division hardest, with 12,500 employees laid off.
Microsoft acquired the mobile phone company in April in a $7.5-billion deal struck in 2013 by Nadella's predecessor, Steve Ballmer. A onetime industry leader, Nokia was considered a bloated company that failed to keep up with the smartphone boom.
Big cuts were expected, but Nadella gave no indication that Microsoft was pulling back on its mobile ambitions or fundamentally changing strategy. The cuts, analysts said, will create more cash for mobile device investment.
Nearly 13,000 job cuts will begin immediately, including about 1,350 at Microsoft's headquarters in the Seattle area. More will come from Nokia's engineering office in San Diego, its factory in Hungary and its offices in Finland and Beijing.
Layoff announcements are also filtering through other Microsoft divisions. Microsoft has three offices in the Los Angeles region, where employee prospects are as yet uncertain.
The cuts mark a defining moment for Microsoft, which seeks to trade in its image as a washed-up powerhouse and prove itself as a producer of groundbreaking products and services. It has gotten crushed by Apple, Google, Amazon and others in smartphones, tablets and just about anything new and exciting.
The company is in no danger of collapse. Its Windows operating system and Office software suite remain dominant at businesses in the U.S. and globally. Cash flow continues to gush at more than $17 billion a year.
During the Ballmer years, Microsoft proved ill-equipped to compete for non-corporate customers. Nadella seeks to slow the kind of long, painful, downhill slide historically seen at mature corporate giants, such as General Motors.
A look at profit-per-employee figures makes clear the need to drastically reduce head count. In 1999, just before the Gates-to-Ballmer transition, each of the company's 31,400 employees represented $248,120 in net income. In 2013, each of the 99,000 employees accounted for $220,808 in net income, an 11% drop.
Over the same period — the Ballmer era — the stock lost more than 20% of its value, while the broad technology stock index was up 14% and Apple stock soared 2,500%.
Microsoft's only previous mass layoff came in 2009, when the company announced that a "once-in-a-lifetime set of economic conditions" was requiring more than 5,000 cuts, about 6% of the workforce at the time. Since then, many of the industry's original technology giants, including Intel, Hewlett-Packard and IBM, have announced trims in their workforces to keep pace with the innovation coming out of Google, Amazon and start-ups.
Ballmer, meanwhile, has retired from Microsoft and awaits approval of his $2-billion bid to buy the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
In a note to clients, FBR Capital Market analysts Daniel Ives and James Moore said that although the cuts will be "painful" for employees, they are necessary.
"Microsoft needs to be a 'leaner and meaner' technology giant over the coming years in order to strike the right balance of growth and profitability around its cloud and mobile endeavors," the pair wrote.
Slashing the staff could speed up Microsoft's development of new products, according to one analyst.
"There's hope for a faster, nimbler Microsoft," said Colin Gillis, senior technology analyst at BGC Partners. "The idea is to reduce the layers of management vertically and horizontally, so you can speed things up."

The Block
The Block essentially does consulting for small businesses. We are beginning by offering internet marketing and advertising services. The Block wants to change the way small businesses think about getting on the internet in a meaningful way. We build each business an independent website, manage their ecommerce by creating their marketplace, we do all their SEO, PPC, etc, and we also are building an all new directory that will allow tie our network of small businesses together. Customers can come to our site, immediately search for a product or service in their area, and find results. On the results page they can see what their friends suggest, as well as see featured services. Any service that works with us has their website and marketplace accessible by our directory. Customers can click on a business and view their profile, where they can order virtually any thing the business offers. Furthermore, we will be rethinking how businesses and their customers interact on the social web.
Bing.com- How the menu is laid out as well as the homepage picture.
Groupon.com- Its quirkiness
Google.com- Pure Simplicity
Twitter.com- Its look
Think new age web look.
We are looking for a designer with the chops to create a viable and competitive homepage for our site. This must have the ability to out compete up and coming (as well as established) businesses in the arena. We want a Google/Bing/Groupon/Apple blend of New Hotness.
The Homepage will be ad free. It should (more or less) consist of Our logo, a single search box (google style), and a background of a cityscape. There are some pictures of home pages attached, but quite frankly they don't come close to cutting it.
The of the city scape as being viewed from the opposite side of a river (Like how you'd view Philadelphia or New York from the New Jersey side of the Delaware or Hudson rivers). The sky should bright and warm, the buildings should be reflecting the line to a degree, and slightly futuristic looking. Think Grand theft auto style art.
The logo design is up to you, and we will give you advice after you submit us renditions. If you want to design an actual 3-d block, or design "The Block" in actual block letters you can. You can also think outside the box and not try to play on the words (or play on the words in a different way than I suggested). I've heard of someone suggesting that "The Block" should be done in 3-D designed out of streets. It is totally up to you.
What could also be nice is small blurbs built in that allow us to describe exactly what we are and what we do quickly (again: Directory, Marketplace, Social).
As you can see from the photos uploaded, we've had a few different designers make attempts. Photo.PNG is color scheme you can work from. Be creative, make bold attempts. Please contact me with any questions.
Keep in mind our demographic. Mostly 14-29 year olds will be our most frequent users. 30-55 would be our second largest demographic. So this must be dead simple and look good.

Obama spy panel is loaded with insiders, critics charge
After a public backlash to government spying, President Barack Obama called for an independent group to review the vast surveillance programs that allow the collections of phone and email records.
Now, weeks before the group's first report is due, some lawmakers, technology organizations and civil liberties groups are concerned that the panel's members are too close to the Obama administration and its mission too vague to provide a thorough scrubbing of the National Security Agency technologies that have guided intelligence gathering since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies works in the office of the director of national intelligence; reports to its director, James Clapper, who's been accused of lying to Congress about the programs; and has ties to his current and former bosses, Obama and former President Bill Clinton.
"There is ample evidence now that we need an independent investigation of the impact of the NSA's spying program on Americans' constitutional rights and civil liberties," said Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., who has advocated for NSA changes. "A task force appointed by the president, reporting to the DNI, certainly won't inspire confidence and may simply rubber-stamp a program that is dangerously infringing on Americans' privacy rights."
Obama had repeatedly downplayed the scope of the surveillance programs after leaks of top-secret documents by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, but he eventually addressed the rising public criticism. Documents showed the NSA is collecting the telephone records of tens of millions of Verizon customers as well as emails through nine companies including tech giants Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and Facebook.
He announced he would form a "high-level group of outside experts" that "protects our national security and advances our foreign policy while respecting our commitment to privacy and civil liberties" in early August, when he unveiled a series of proposals designed to provide more oversight on the government's ability to spy on Americans. He also declassified documents, created a website to release information and name an NSA civil liberties and privacy officer.
The members of the review group are Richard Clarke, the chief counterterrorism adviser on the National Security Council for Clinton who later worked for Republican President George W. Bush; Michael Morell, Obama's former deputy CIA director; law professor Geoffrey Stone, who has raised money for Obama and spearheads a committee hoping to build Obama's presidential library in Chicago; law professor Cass Sunstein, administrator of information and regulatory affairs for Obama; and Peter Swire, a former Office of Management and Budget privacy director for Clinton.
"At the end of the day, a task force led by Gen. Clapper full of insiders – and not directed to look at the extensive abuse – will never get at the bottom of the unconstitutional spying," said Mark Jaycox, a policy analyst for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a privacy advocacy group.
The review group met with Obama in late August and with a dozen civil liberties and business groups in a pair of meetings in September. Some who attended said they raised concerns about the programs, but panel members – at least one was missing from each meeting – did not respond to them, saying in several instances they could not reveal information because it is classified.
The panel's meetings are closed anyway after Clapper exempted it from the U.S. Federal Advisory Committee Act, which would have required it to keep the public informed and hold open meetings, for "reasons of national security," according to a statement from the group sent from Clapper's office. "While we are exempt from the FACA, we are conducting this review as openly and transparently as possible," the statement says.
Sascha Meinrath, director of the Open Technology Institute and vice president at the New America Foundation, who attended one of the meetings, said the process is set up to solicit only a "modest" review that will not help restore eroding trust around the globe. "It won't solve the problem," he said.
Technology organizations and civil liberties groups monitoring the process say they worry the members are too focused on legal issues, not technical ones. Some members, they say, don't know which questions to ask.
Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union who attended one of the meetings, said the review group's membership should have been more diverse and the mission more specific. She said it's too soon to tell how effective the group will be, but "no one is going to do a top-to-bottom review."
The group is seeking public comment before Oct. 4. It is required to provide an interim report to Obama later this month and a final report by Dec. 15.
Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said Obama has "full confidence" in Clapper and "looks forward to hearing from this group of experts when its work is done."
"The DNI's role in this case is one of facilitation, and while the DNI will not take part in the group, the DNI will support the group and the group's report will be sent through the DNI," Hayden said. "The members require security clearances and access to classified information, so they need to be administratively connected to the government; the DNI's office is the right place to play that role."
Meanwhile, Udall said he has asked the independent, congressionally created Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to investigate the NSA's programs and issue a public report of its findings, though there is no specific timetable for that to be done.
The senator's committee, the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government, has proposed a spending bill next year that would fund that board at a level that would allow it to hire staff and fully examine surveillance programs.
