Subject: DHS reinventing the wheel?


From this Fed Register entry pertaining to the upcoming DHS Data  
Privacy and
Integrity Advisory Committee Public Meeting:

"The Committee is researching effective means to receive public comments
during their public meetings."

Is it just me expecting too much that DHS look to other similar federal
advisory committees or the Library of Congress to see how they've  
handled
receiving public comments in the past? Or must DHS let a million-plus- 
dollar
contract to a Beltway Bandit to determine the best way to reinvent the
wheel?  Talk about the Not-Invented-Here Syndrome!
