Voluntary certification, please. Law is slower than technology. This is a good thing! EnergyStar is a great example of a voluntary program doing more good than DoE or FTC mandates. HIPAA is a good example of what happens when mandates can’t keep up with technology. When it comes to security, we can’t afford another HIPAA.

100% agree! This is a totally voluntary program that is explicitly based on EnergyStar.

I also worry that check-the-box compliance is one possible outcome. I'd love to see professionals comment on the record about where a checklist would and wouldn't be helpful. I'd also love commentary on if and where liability for failure to meet stated commitments would be helpful.
