The comment period is open – and feds are expressing concerns on what was left out of the A-130 circular.

The revisions proposed to the Office of Management and Budget’s A-130 Circular seemingly ignore some technology trends that would help the government achieve the goals it sets out, say some current and former federal technology officials.
The A-130 revision is the first time the circular, which governs the federal use of IT, has been updated since 2000, and the draft rewrite incorporates a number of new federal policies and standards that have been created over the past 15 years. However, in comments on the document’s GitHub page and in interviews with FedScoop, current and former feds expressed concern over the missed opportunities to encourage modernization of agency’s systems.
