OpenGov Directive? - "Next Month"

[Stephen Buckley]

All,

It's not very illuminating, but it's something.  So, I guess that means that issuance of the OGD is more likely in December than in January.

Dave McClure, associate administrator for the Office of Citizen Services and Communications at the General Services Administration, said that the directive should be released next month.

"I think OMB is being careful to make sure it doesn't rush a new directive out -- because this does create some new requirements and new resource investments," he said.

Best wishes for a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

If so, depending on the amount of time they give the agencies to do their plans -- I have heard 45 days rumored -- there will be some very unhappy civil servants in late December.
