Hello Kristen, Alycia, Meredith (et al.),
This would be a good time (i.e., year's end) to let us all know
"what's up" with development of the fourth version of the
National Action Plan (NAP 4.0).
In her October 31st
"
delay letter", Margie Graves says that the NAP 4.0 "will be
delayed until early 2018 .. as we continue working with our trusted civil
society partners .." (see full text, below).
However, since that letter, there have been
no further details in
that regard, nor an update to the schedule
(
here).
So it would be very timely to inform us -- now -- as to when there will
be opportunities for us (i.e, "civil society") to
"continue working" on the NAP 4.0 in "early 2018"
(e.g., in the next month or so).
Any thoughts or information that you share here will be
appreciated. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
best,
Stephen Buckley

Dear Dr. Pradhan:
Re: United States National Action Plan Delayed
With this letter, the United States Office of the Federal Chief
Information Officer notifies the Open Government Partnership that the
publication of the fourth National Action Plan and related documents will
be delayed until early 2018.
This delay will allow the additional time needed to fine tune a strong
and quality action plan reflective of national priorities.
Thank you for your continued flexibility as we continue working with our
trusted civil society partners and the Open Government
Partnership.
Sincerely,
Margie Graves
Acting Federal Chief Information Officer
