Ready for Open Government? Part 3

This is the last of a three part series on the Government Executive survey of federal managers' attitudes about open government and a discussion of those findings on the federal social networking site GovLoop. This last part presents managers' perspectives on the obstacles to open government. Federal managers are mostly in favor of open government and interacting with the public, but they say some big obstacles could make the reality of social networking difficult to pull off. Besides cybersecurity issues, feds say they also are concerned about controlling the agency's message, which is ironic given social networking's goal of crowd sourcing.
