When discussing new methods on increasing "Government Transparency" it will be more beneficial to flowchart the existing operations under consideration from both the Macro and Micro point of view. This comparison technique opens the door to items of interest and importance which - if reviewed by only one of the two aspects - may be overlooked. Secondly - it demonstrates where there may be a "Troubled Intersection" that slows a process down. Third - comparing the two flowcharts of one system better illustrates the dynamics and mechanics of an operation in such a way that the methods of creating more transparency are more readily defined.

The functionality of this website is fundamentally good and should be built upon to make it better - we need to make sure the fundametally good functionality does not get replaced by people (or software) that reflects the "politically correct" viewpoints of the current politicians holding power - if this happens "OPEN GOVERNMENT" dies.

The input from those people integrated within a system from "The Floor up" is as valuable as those from "Management Down". It requires everyone involved in flowcharting a process to discuss freely those "less efficient" methods which may increase transparency.

You may want to join this thread at the second stage site. Your point seems to fit well there.
