Re: [Gendergap] U.S. government website for International Women of Courage Award is down
It appears that the award has had its own web presence independent of the State Department since March 2016: http://web.archive.org/web/20160304031707/http://www.awiu.org/international-women-of-courage-celebrations/about-iwoc-celebration/ Perhaps in inquiry to the AIWU board of directors or personnel could clarify the connection with the State Department, and unearth any information that has been lost from the State Department web site? -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] On Wed, Feb 1, 2017 at 10:11 PM, Ryan Kaldari wrote: > It looks like the main page for the International Women of Courage Award > has been moved to https://www.state.gov/s/gwi/iwoc/index.htm. > Unfortunately, it seems to no longer have any actual information. > > I've never heard of a requirement for the U.S. government to archive all > of its web pages, nor have I ever seen any official archives of federal > government sites other than whitehouse.gov (which is archived by the > National Archives as part of the official Presidential Record).

Re: [Gendergap] U.S. government website for International Women of Courage Award is down
It looks like the main page for the International Women of Courage Award has been moved to https://www.state.gov/s/gwi/iwoc/index.htm. Unfortunately, it seems to no longer have any actual information. I've never heard of a requirement for the U.S. government to archive all of its web pages, nor have I ever seen any official archives of federal government sites other than whitehouse.gov (which is archived by the National Archives as part of the official Presidential Record). This seems like a dubious claim to me, but I would be very happy to be wrong (as such archives would be incredibly useful to Wikipedia).

Re: [Gendergap] U.S. government website for International Women of Courage Award is down
Please bear in mind that many US government websites are routinely rebuilt at the time of a transition of the presidency and/or cabinet level change. This is not new or unusual, although the last time there was a transition was 8 years ago and the websites weren't nearly as built-up. They are, however, required, to archive all pages, so they should be somewhere - not necessarily easy to find, but somewhere within the US government sites.
