Risks & tensions

  • Document describes past/pending policy efforts in aspirational terms but imposes no binding mandates; 'call upon' language is non-directive
  • Some referenced initiatives (cybersecurity legislation, Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, retirement advisor rule) were stalled or later reversed, but proclamation itself does not create these policies
