== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* journalists should be the instigators of making government open<br />
<br />
* humanistic voice needs to be heard in the new technologies<br />
<br />
* government should be consumer focused like VA is trying to be via social media<br />
<br />
* government is made of people who bear responsibility to reach out to the community and community is responsible to see governments as people (humans)<br />
<br />
* How do we systematically mine public records?<br />
<br />
* What is the clearinghouse for government online efforts?<br />
<br />
* Online world is solution oriented where print journalism is problem-oriented<br />
<br />
* Journalists role is to stand in for citizens<br />
<br />
* The good and creative voices will stand out<br />
<br />
* Government credentialing of journalists will inevitably be relaxed<br />
<br />
* Barriers to who gets to speak (MSM) are dropping<br />
<br />
* Governments should be rewarded for being on the leading edge of digital media<br />
<br />
== Action Steps ==<br />
<br />
* Forum Foundation and Washington Coalition on Open Government will collaborate on open government issue forum around Sunshine Week<br />
<br />
* Washington COG will look to expand its Key Awards to recognizing government agencies work on online openness. Lathrop (Gov2.0 author) will work with WashCOG.<br />
<br />
* We will contribute individually to a clearinghouse of open government online efforts at WashingtonCOG.org</div>69.91.139.133
