Using Online Tools to Engage – and be Engaged by –The Public

Mr. Leighninger’s report begins to pull back the veil on how the various online engagement tactics and tools can be used, and when they work best.   His report describes common scenarios where public managers may find themselves needing, or using, public input.  He describe a mix of ten different tactics managers may find useful for engaging the public online and highlights over 40 different technologies in use today to support those kinds of engagements.

I hope to see some of these tactics (and more) utilized in the development of Chapel Hill's new Comprehensive Plan.

Are you seeing increased use and/or inhibitors for collaborative on line tools in procurement? Are you seeing more government agencies using collaborative tools to gain market insights and interact with vendors in a more open manner?

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) surveyed the state of the art in developing and using comprehensive indicator systems in its 2004 report, “Informing Our Nation: Improving How to Understand and Assess the USA's Position and Progress.”  That report sparked an initiative by the National Academies of Science, with the support of several non-profit foundations, to explore the feasibility of developing a national indicator system.  This led to the creation of a non-profit, State of the

Inducement Prizes, Contests, and Challenge Awards

Why?  Because prizes are effective.  Under the right circumstances, they can be more effective than traditional investments in research and development. Lowery says: “After falling out of favor for decades, such high-publicity, fat-reward contest came into vogue again in the aughts in the wake of the 1996 Ansari X Prize for advances in commercial spaceflight” which Burt Rutan’s SpaceShipOne won in 2004.

Earlier this month, the White House announced that it is seeking public input on “a design concept for a government-wide software tool and process to elicit expert public participation.”  The announcement says that the government is looking to expand its traditional approaches of getting citizen input – announcements in the Federal Register and the use of Advisory Committees –

I think leveraging the crowdsourcing tool used by NASA would be a good way to go.

Strategies for Supporting Frontline Collaboration: Lessons from Stewardship Contracting

Monday, November 22nd, 2010 - 15:23
Posted by: 
Cassandra Moseley
The Obama administration’s Open Government initiative places a strong emphasis on increasing collaboration— among agencies as well as with citizens and other stakeholders— to achieve more effective program and mission results. Agencies have developed their required Open Government Plans, but many of these plans lack details on how to successfully conduct collaborative efforts, especially on the front lines of government.

The Federal Records Act of 1950 creates a framework to manage agency records.  It puts the National Archives and Records Administration in charge of oversight of the system and NARA determines the historical value of federal records and operates Federal Records Centers around the country.

Typically, the term "government" refers to the civil government of a sovereign state which can be either local, national, or international. However, commercial, academic, religious, or other formal organizations are also governed by internal bodies.[url=http://www.facebooklayoutsfree.com/]facebook layouts[/url]

How Federal Agencies Can Effectively Manage Records Created Using New Social Media Tools

Thursday, October 28th, 2010 - 12:29
Author(s): 
Dr. Patricia C. Franks, CRM
To date, federal agencies have largely been on their own in terms of how to manage records created via social media tools.  This historically decentralized approach has resulted in some agencies banning the use of social media while other agencies have rapidly adopted their use but ignored the potential records management implications.  The National Archives and Records Administration released a bulletin on managing social media records at the same time this report was released.  It offered some “guidance to Federal agencies, who must then determine the most appropriate ways

I am interested to see how US Government agencies are dealing with social media records

I am interested in how the US Coast Guard complies with record management?

In May 2013, NARA released a white paper on best practices for the capture of social media records. You can download that from: http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/resources/socialmediacapture.pdf

Page 5, 2nd row, lists the US Coast Guard, provides links to 2 resources, and lists the following Social Media in Use: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, blogs, and RSS feeds. The last column explains that communications and transactions conducted on the social media site on behalf of the Coast Card must be managed as a Federal Record. Recommendations are based on the type of content and include deletion, screen shots, and backupify (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/backupify) to archive content and comments.

A newer publication (2012), the Coast Guard Social Media Handbook, can be downloaded from: http://www.dvidshub.net/publication/issues/10409 See pages 3 and 7 for a reference to records management.
