Yeah after reading it I wasn't sure if it was written by Scott Tissue
or Brawny.  The current write up provides no essential changes to what

"We wanted to make sure we have buy-in from all the parties involved before
the official release comes out."

Technology firms will have 60 days to submit comments on the latest draft,
Olsen said, with an official presidential unveiling of the final plan
