It was not a meeting of the commission, per se, but rather an educational session for press designed to help FDA get the word out about the inititative and its progress and timelines for future events and goals. The official task force meetings are open to the public, and there is a link for each meeting with transcripts and other materials that came out of the meeting. The latest one (for the Nov. 3, 2009 meeting) is at http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/WhatWeDo/FDATransparencyTaskForce/ucm189863.htm The meeting yesterday was a press briefing open only to credentialed press.

So it's now one year since the new administration took over the FDA and they have finally started something that looks like transparency (though I'll reserve judgment, thank you). And they're crowing about this?!? Gimme a break! I have followed the FDA for 20 years, and -- as a consumer advocate -- I'd say this represents some of the "worst of times." Was the Bush FDA worse? Sure. How much worse? At this point I'd say Obama's FDA is giving them a real run for the money. Mike,
