The appointments mean the incoming administration won’t have the chance to “populate the advisory committee as it sees fit,” said a former federal official: “The group represents a solid cross-section of the industries affected, but it is an opportunity to lock in the Biden administration’s chosen” committee. “It feels more like a last-minute check-the-box move than a genuine effort to set CSMAC on the right path,” said Kristian Stout, director-innovation policy at the International Center for Law & Economics.
