more broadly how do you think san francisco compares and what are some of the other cities that are doing really well in terms of open data? i should be clear. when san francisco is third, we have a pact. i ll add to that actually. what s great in san francisco is there is not just going to be a chief data officer. there is also the office of civic innovation. jay s team, shannon s team. by having both of those units in place i think there is going to be a really powerful team. because you can t just open up the data. you have to do things like this, where you get the community together or you have people actually talking about it because the demand side, as we were talking about it, will be there because there is going to be someone there. there have to be people working with it who are getting out there. i think this is what this city is going to be really powerful. in terms of other cities doing as well, chicago is doing some really interesting stuff. scary cool stuff. t

december. and then we planned to bring that report before you for the january meeting. that is a good idea. to answer your question, going back to the scheduling. sure. so for december, we don t. there is nothing on tentatively schedule for the 14th, december 14th? no. there is not. okay. thank you. okay. anything public comment? on the executive director s report. thank you, dr. kerr again. this chart on the first page of the director s report, that has 6 categories of investigations and enforcements, mr. st. croix introduced that chart in 2006, but the first month that this chart was introduced that was whistle blower/sunshine ordinance. since then, in the last six years, the word whistle blower has not appeared. now whistle blower retaliation is arguably a more serious problem than any of these because it involves the destruction of someone s professional life and personal life, too. and it is part of your responsibility to over see whistle blower prote
