It's refreshing to see "Notice of Meeting" instead of "Notice of Closed Meeting" for a change! The NIDDK open session is quite short and sparse on details ("Council Business") but I am cautiously hopeful that this is a sign that we can get back to some degree of normalcy.

Without public input, policies will not only be implemented irrationally quickly but it will occur without consideration of the needs of the stakeholders the Department is intended to serve.

The TL;DR version of this is that by rescinding this waiver, HHS is no longer required to seek public comment on rule changes related to loans, grants, benefits, contracts, etc. So much of what the health and science community do relies on federal funding distributed through grants and contracts.
