Yeah, I had similar thoughts, Jay. The seed vault in Norway is laudable and legit, but this....???

Just the commentary has me wondering as a) the site makes mention of the board of director 'qualifications' but doesn't reveal who the six board members are or identify what their qualifications and skills actually are; b) the commentary certainly reveals that they (or at least the site's authors) haven't a clue about book/paper or electronic/machine-readable format preservation/conservation.

I deplore NFPs which are not fully transparent.
