President’s Open Government Advisory Committee

Why Is This Idea Important?: Benefits to the President and CTO: * Advice from the academic, civic (nonprofit), and private sectors on the best technologies and strategies to use to increase public access to government information--advice that is continually updated as technology moves forward. * Helps ensure that the CTO’s transparency efforts find the widest possible audience. * Furthers the values of inclusion and openness by formalizing a role for representatives of the public in access to public information.

The Committee shall consist of members appointed by the President, including representatives of media organizations; nonprofit groups using government data; nonprofit groups supporting government transparency; academic researchers; and information-technology firms.

The Committee shall provide the Office of Chief Technology Officer with expert, independent advice on increasing public access to Federal government information using information technology.

    I like the idea, plus Senators like to have some "Plums" to hand out, so the committee needs at least 100 members (of whom about 10 would be active) from the top echelon of IT, media, academy...and freelancers interested in the topic...

    And ALL of them collecting HIGH remuneration, including the non participatory members!! Perhaps the "Messiah" could be on it too, and his wife Mary Magdalane. And His Kenyan family as well. Typical Sotero Idea.
