OA proposal for the Obama administration still climbing

The proposal to require OA for publicly-funded research is now ranked 13th on Obama CTO, the unofficial web site collecting recommendations for the Obama administration, up one rank from Saturday

It just passed the proposal to make voting machines and their software publicly-owned and transparent, an idea with a wider constituency than OA. 

The OA idea was posted to the site on November 15, and broke into the top 25 on December 4.  Ranks are determined by user votes.
