		<description>Anil,

Thanks for listening and commenting.  I see so much potential for ExpertLabs and can&#039;t wait to see the fruit of your labors.  Our DC community is flush with top-rate thinkers and doers, your job is partly to engage and spark them to your cause as well as those around the country whom together can help us move forward as a nation.

Feel free to reach out to us at any point, or to come on the show.  Hope to see you around.

		<description>Thanks for covering Expert Labs, guys. I appreciate the feedback, as Dave mentioned, we are absolutely aware that people feel there&#039;s been a lot of talk and not as much action as people want. I think the concern about whether we&#039;re just another &quot;think tank&quot; is well raised, but we&#039;re non-partisan and non-profit, and it turns out you can actually get a lot done in DC when you&#039;re not trying to score political points or make a buck, so I think that might help.

I think your description of a &quot;research tool&quot; around 17:15 in the podcast is pretty close to what we&#039;re envisioning, and we&#039;ll be asking for proposals from the tech community about the specifics of the tools as part of our process going forward. We definitely *don&#039;t* envision creating Yet Another Polling Tool -- that&#039;s a problem that&#039;s already solved, and not one that we&#039;re interested in really working on. We do see the work on Apps.gov and Data.gov as inspirational models for our work, but by being outside of the government, I think we&#039;ll have some great advantages in what we can do.

But please do absolutely judge us by what we do in a few months, as opposed to the dialog thus far, which has just been about announcing our existence. I think you&#039;ll be able to see some very specific bits of progress soon.</description>
