- toomuchtodo 11y agoI cannot think of someone better suited for the job, except perhaps Brewster Kahle [+]. Him and Jason Scott working together, with US government backing, would be (please forgive me for this) killing it. "Brewster Kahle is an American computer engineer, Internet entrepreneur, internet activist, advocate of universal access to all knowledge, and digital librarian. He is the founder of the Internet Archive, the Internet Credit Union, Alexa and Thinking Machines and a member of the Internet Hall of Fame."
