Statement of Values
We believe there are core items that all agencies should disclose to ensure consistent transparency, accountability, and informed participation across the government. The Open Government Plans should serve as agency tools for going beyond these core items to build transparency, collaboration and participation that meet the specific needs of the agency and the public, as well as reflect how to implement these standards in ways consistent with the mission of the agency. In order to increase openness and accountability, we urge agencies to adopt the detailed list below, which is comprised of important elements of transparency, participation and collaboration. These items should be easily accessible from the agency’s Open Government Webpage. Just like agency Open Government Plans, this floor will continue to evolve and become more robust over time.
The evolving core items sought to enhance open government:
Accountability and Influence
Spending
Records and Data
Policies
Participation
Collaboration
