Evaluating Open Government Plans
Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Openthegovernment.org has organized an audit of the open government plans submitted by federal agencies on April 7, and will continue to look at the plans as they evolve and are implemented.

“As this audit demonstrates, there is wide variation in the agency plans. Some are exceptional; others are quite weak. Most are somewhere in between. Many of the plans that currently do not meet the minimal requirements identified in the OGD can do so with only modest improvements, such as providing more specificity on deadlines or identifying where certain items mentioned in the plans can be found.”

The final rankings can be found here and full agency evaluations here. The highest scoring agencies are NASA, HUD, EPA, Department of Agriculture, Office of Personnel Management, Department of Transportation, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and Department of Labor.
