Open Government Initiative Seeks Input

The Obama Administration is seeking widespread input regarding the best ways to implement the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government that the President issued in Jan 2009. The Open Government Initiative is collecting dozens of ideas, several of which have bene put forth by organizations such as AmericaSpeaks, National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation, IAP2, World Café, and others who have been deeply involved in public participation initiatives. You can participate directly in this important activity: http://opengov.ideascale.com/

If you visit the sites of the organizations identified above, they will suggest specific initiatives that may be worthy of your consideration. AmericaSpeaks has a particularly comprehensive list, but there are LOTS of great ideas being generated -- check them out!
