Future of GovLoop?
Does it help meet the requirements of the Open Gov Directive?
How can agencies use it?
Is it ok for employees to use?
Blue Sky of a Gov Social Network
- Folks need to feel comfortable about sharing
- Can GovLoop get a ToS agreement like the Gov’t has with YouTube, Facebook, etc.
- What goes on the public network vs. the internal network?
- Need to share both internally and externally?
- What level unit should have a FB fan page? How do you determine the level/scalability of collaborative tools?
Ideal way to report on requirements
- Identify the members of the Open Gov Directive teams at the various agencies publicly – put names and people against the initiatives. Need to have people accountable not just orgs.
- Any dangers to publicly identifying people?
- Place where people can vote/comment on the best ideas of all the agencies? Problems with comparing agencies to other agencies? Needs a community manager.
- Government to citizen engagement and collaboration – is there a cloud service where customers (the public) can go to a website and actually talk with a person online? Live chat?
- Is there something on all the websites where someone can just ask a question?
Takeaways
We want a face and a name with the process
We want a directory
We want live help
Link people to information and people
GovLoop has gone in and done some active tagging of content related to the Open Gov initiative.
