New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced the 28 members of his Committee on Arts and Culture, one of 17 advisory committees formed ahead of his inauguration. During a news conference in Central Parks Conservatory Garden on Nov. 24, Mamdani said the more than 400 appointees across committees "were all united in a love for hard work, a deep belief in the promise of New York City, and a commitment to the affordability agenda that New Yorkers are demanding." Members include former NYC Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) Commissioner Gonzalo Casals, curator and critic Kimberly Drew, Brooklyn Childrens Museum President Atiba Edwards, poet and Mellon Foundation President Elizabeth Alexander, The Kitchen Executive Director and Chief Curator Legacy Russell, and Hiba Abid, the New York Public Librarys first-ever curator of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
