I finally looked at the Data Center Optimization 
Initiative (DCOI) at https://datacenters.cio.gov.  

If you're planning to provide feedback I would just 
about assure you that this will not be looked at by 
anyone that will be able to do anything.  Likely,
there'll be containers for expected/wanted responses 
and the rest will goto the bit bucket.  It's a 
pressure release valve.  (Let `em get it off their 
chests and then we'll do what we normally do: create 
confusion and chaos, so no one notices what's actually 
being done)  

The politics of gov't folks will over run everything 
reasonable put forth by non-gov't folks like a 
stampede of bison.
