Policy conducted more or less between industry groups and the csar to the exclusion of everyone else. That this person is called a czar - from Tsar, and ultimately Caesar - tells you all you need to know. A life-long bureaucrat and academic who doesn't seem to have held elected office in her life. Shouldn't policy concerning knowledge (rather than intellectual "property") be decided and developed by the people's representatives in conversation with the people?
