Standardize URL conventions to standard portions goverment websites.

OMB's Recovery guidance that agency handling Recovery dollars create pages at "agency.gov/recovery" was widely adopted not only by the 28 relevant agencies, but by many states and local governments, too.

Accepted conventions around various URLs would be very helpful. Many agencies offer similar functions. Imagine the following:

agency.gov/data

agency.gov/documents or agency.gov/forms

agency.gov/foia

agency.gov/accessibility or agency.gov/508

agency.gov/budget

agency.gov/feeds

agency.gov/contact

agency.gov/socialmedia

agency.gov/jobs

agency.gov/stratml

agency.gov/people

agency.gov/participate

agency.gov/calendar or agency.gov events

Other standardization could include:

- certain elements in a fat footer.

- adoption of a open calendar format for events

  1. This sounds good as part of a best practices memo, but should not be mandatory. I can't tell which you are advocating.
