Politico has a good writeup about it, you can go there and search to read all of it:
The mission in Japan is implementing all the recommendations, including the recommendations with respect to email traffic, "as we speak," Kirby said. "They've taken the recommendations very seriously."
Not picking on you, just Politico...
Ah, I see, “recommendations”!
So, the IRS “Recommends” I pay my taxes, right?
And the police “recommend” I do not rob liquor stores?
I love how laws and regulations or higher-up government officials are recommendations.
The problem with this is that SECURITY LAWS are not EVER recommendations, they are US Code 10 laws, and violators are punishable, 10 years in jail, $10,000 fine.
I used to teach government communications and computer security regulations, and those were never recommendations—just law.
