2.6: Collaboration with Other Agencies

Collaborate with other agencies in the advancement of Open Government across the government

Other Information:

How We Will Seek to Collaborate with Other Agencies on Open Government Efforts - We believe that it will continue to be vital to collaborate with other agencies in the advancement of Open Government across the government. We plan to do so in several ways: * Continued leadership of and participation in the volunteer interagency workgroup on Open Government “leading practices” * Sharing of the “Participation and Collaboration Resource Menu” we will be developing with other agencies * Continued leadership of and support for an intergovernmental community of practice on “ideation tools” – tools that can help agencies gather and process ideas from employees and the public. Currently, over 30 federal agencies participate in this forum, which meets monthly and also communicates via an intergovernmental portal * Leadership of an “Open Government for Health” interagency group (launched on March 2) on how agencies can coordinate or integrate complementary data for public release * Naming of an HHS advocate for Open Government who can get the word out about what HHS is doing on Open Government and is available to talk with other agencies about what HHS has learned. This advocate will initially be Todd Park, HHS Chief Technology Officer and one of the senior accountable officials for Open Government * Sharing of all materials, results, tools, and training that could be transferable to other agencies with the government-wide Open Government Steering Committee
