Open Government Directive?

Remember the open government directive - the guidance that President Obama on his first day in office memoed his administration about? He said he wanted recommendations by May 21 for regulations -- to be issued by the Office of Management and Budget -- that would put the principles of transparency, collaboration and participation in government into practice. Six months later, after receiving recommendations from agency heads, citizens and federal employees, there is still no directive. But there is a lot of hope. Dave McClure, associate administrator for the Office of Citizen Services and Communications at the General Services Administration, said that the directive should be released next month.
