Following is a strawman to help frame or scope the initiative that Team 2 will be working through and presenting on Wednesday, February 17. Team members, please help shape the background so on Wednesday we start with a common concept and objective.
1. I am interested in scoping an Open Government initiative that relates to a science-based agency or scientific programs. This could include
A. Collaboration among government agencies or between government and other sectors to advance scientific inquiry on identification, approaches, and applications around grand national or international challenges,
B. Development of public-private partnerships for the purpose of promoting economic development,
C. Use of scientific inquiry for government policy, or
D. Promote Scientific, Technology, Engineering, and Mathamatics (STEM) education.
2. Given an interest in scientific collaboration, it may suggest focusing on specific questions
A. Starting with both the collaboration questions. With the first collaboration question, looking at both the internal practices, culture, and acceptance (which is clear from the question) as well as the history and culture of external partnerships
B. Then the role of participation and levels of participation as a foundation for collaboration
C. Then are there open data that will support scientific inquiry.
D. Elements of transparency needed to support the initative among the collaborators, other program stakeholders, and the public
