Summary

A document from John Brockman, Editor & Publisher of Edge.org, providing strict editorial guidelines to contributors for an upcoming 'Edge Question' response (likely the annual question). He explicitly forbids political discussion (mentioning Obama, Bush, Clinton, Palin) and self-promotion, urging writers to be imaginative and 'go deeper than the news.' The document concludes with a large compilation of positive press quotes about Edge.org from international media outlets and bears a House Oversight Bates stamp.
