Fwd: Open Government Update

[Stephen Buckley]

Dear OGDers.

Here is a message forwarded from Greg Nelson of
the White House's "Open Government Team" that points to
the "data from the 3 Phases of the Open
Government Initiative Public Consultation" (see Item #3, below).

His link leads to the OSTP blog, where there is
another link to download a "zipped file" which
(after "un-zipping") gives you three files: an
Excel (spreadsheet) file on Phase 1, a Word text
file on Phase 2, and another Excel file on Phase 3.

>Hi Folks,

>A final Friday note from the Open Government
>Team about two opportunities to participate in policymaking:
>
>1. The Department of Defense is reviewing
>its Web 2.0 policies and wants your help. New
>technologies ­ such as Aristotle
><http://www.whitehouse.gov/open//innovations/Dod-Aristotle/>,
>Defensesolutions.gov
><http://defensesolutions.gov/> , and TroopTube
><http://www.trooptube.tv/> -- promise to reduce
>duplication by connecting experts, quickly
>deliver the best innovation to the military, and
>connect military friends and families with their
>loved ones. At the same time, new technologies
>bring new vulnerabilities. On July 31st, 2009,
>the Department of Defense launched the Web 2.0
>Guidance Forum
><http://web20guidanceforum.dodlive.mil/> to
>inform a responsible and effective use of
>emerging Internet-based capabilities. You can
>share your thoughts, experiences, research and
