Study of Obama administration transparency launched
Open Source for America has announced a study to measure openness at a number of U.S. federal government agencies. This survey is being carried out in close cooperation with all the major federal agencies.
In 2009, President Obama established the Open Government Directive which directed executive departments and agencies to take specific actions to implement principles of transparency, participation and collaboration.
The study, scheduled to be released in Q3FY2010, will gauge openness and transparency across federal agencies and will culminate in a report card assigning a grade to each federal agency based on its public transparency, participation and collaboration.
