Hello again! Thanks to all for a great meeting. Here is a recap of what was discussed. Our next meeting with government and civil society will be Wednesday, August 12 at 10 a.m. at the National Archives. Hope to see you then! Cori *Interagency Open Government Working Group Meeting* Wednesday, May 13, 2015 10 a.m. National Archives Jefferson Room *Agenda* I. *Open Government Partnership update*: Alonso Cerdan, the U.S. liaison for the OGP, and Joe Foti, the director of the OGP’s Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM), shared an update on OGP stats (for a quick look, see the attached jpg titled “April handout – Mex”) including countries’ National Action Plan successes and statistics across countries as learned through the IRM process. See also the attached pdf titled “OGP ppt May 2015”. Joe also explained the new starred commitments system where National Action Plan (NAP) commitments that are particularly noteworthy are called out. To achieve this standard, a commitment must be specific and measurable, relevant to open government, have a high potential impact, and the country must be able to make significant progress (or complete it) by the end of the NAP period. These are great tips to keep in mind as we consider possible new commitments for the U.S. NAP 3.0! They also thanked all of you who participated in the IRM survey for the U.S. NAP 2.0 and said the final report should be available in July. That IRM report will include an assessment of which commitments in our NAP 2.0 are considered starred commitments. And because we’re only halfway through implementation, we still have time to step up our work so that additional commitments may be considered starred. II. *Open Data*: Hyon Kim and Rebecca Williams from data.gov shared progress being made to implement the Open Data Policy. They shared that because data sets are harvested daily, sometimes the numbers fluctuate so for the most up-to-date statistic be sure to check data.gov. They also discussed a change in practice where agencies now provide full listings of all datasets, including those that may be nonpublic (Enterprise Data Inventories). The data.gov team is also working on ways to improve engagement (see the attached pdf “May 13 open gov group”) and arranging visits to agencies to meet with their data teams to discuss priorities and challenges. III. *Open Government Awards*: Thanks for the great suggestions provided along the theme, “Improving Public Services through Open Government.” If you have additional ideas for the award entry <https://www.opengovawards.org/>, please send to me ASAP so we can consider them. The submission deadline is June 15. The entry must meet one or more of these baseline criteria: · Citizens have better access to information on the public services to which they are entitled, and/or information on the performance of public service providers; · Governments are better at asking for and responding to feedback or complaints by citizens on the quality of public services; · Citizens have ways to actively participate in the design and delivery of public services; and/or · Citizens have mechanisms to monitor and oversee public works and services. IV. *National Action Plan 3.0*: Development of the next NAP formally launched during Sunshine Week – please start thinking about possible commitments to suggest. We will share more information very soon on how best to get those ideas to us! V. *Participate in open policymaking efforts*: · DATA Act implementation: contribute ideas <https://fedspendingtransparency.github.io/> to help with implementation of this law. · Federal IT Acquisition: suggest edits and content changes <https://management.cio.gov/> to FITARA guidance. *From:* Zarek, Corinna *Sent:* Tuesday, May 12, 2015 4:31 PM *To:* '[email protected]' *Subject:* RE: May Open Gov Working Group meeting Hi again!
