Initiative on Open Government UPDATE

[Neil Olonoff]

Hi, all --

I've had a few comments and questions regarding the Open Government Initiative /Mixed Ink site results. It is a confusing site, I admit. There are 3 main topics -- Transparency, Participation, and Collaboration.  Each has a number of sub-topics. Our Federal KM Initiative ended up the top rated suggestion in the first sub-topic under Collaboration:  Inter-Governmental and Intra-Governmental Collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Phase Three. We are really impressed by the results, and by the collaboration between contributors on many of the drafts. We'll be reviewing this work over the next few weeks as we prepare for the next steps in implementing the President's Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government. This site will remain up so that all drafts and votes can be reviewed by the public; we will also make the data available in downloadable form as soon as possible. Stay tuned to the OSTP Blog blog.ostp.gov for future announcements on this. Once again, thank you for your participation.

Perhaps a place to start is the report out of NDU this year:

Hello all:

There has been any number of social  networking environments springing
up throughout the DoD.
How do we KNOW that we need these sorts of capabilities other than our
intuition (and heavy marketing to us from within private industry!)
Seems like we should have some documentation that we could use to
illustrate why small unit performance needs, coalition partnerships,
interagency teams and joint service projects require this sort of
capability within C2, rather than merely allowing such capabilities to
be described merely as generic communication tools.
So I am reaching out to the group at large to find out if anyone may be
aware of social networking capabilities are undergoing any sort of
official requirements identification processes?
I know that the various Services have web 2.0 policies in place, which
is an indicator that they are giving such capabilities considerable
thought and consideration, and recognize it as being important for
warfighting environments.
Thank you for your responses in advance!
