The @opengovpart put the United Kingdom “under review” for failing to involve its public in co-creating an #opengov plan & submitting 2 late.
I remember when OGP restored the US after we released a weak “action plan”

Wait until OGP learns what @POTUS45 did

When @opengovpart put the US “under review,” who noticed?
Watchdogs had decried corruption & illiberalism; most didn’t participate in the forums.
No far-right media reported “censure.” (Sure wasn’t on Fox.)
After 4th NAP submitted, OGP acted as if US was healthy, & lifted review.

The Biden @WhiteHouse has been silent since January 21 on @OpenGovPart & many #opengov policies, personnel, & programs. @WeThePeople44, the “flagship commitment” under @POTUS44, is gone. @POTUS still hasn’t answered questions about any of it: governing.digital/letters/letter…
The US is (extremely) unlikely to leave @OpenGovPart under this @potus — @SamanthaJPower called it @BarackObama’s signature governance initiative: gov20.govfresh.com/samantha-power…
— but @whitehouse not engaging US NGOs & committing to act on FOIA is troubling.

Important to be clear about what participation in @opengovpart meant — or what being “under review” did — neither led @whitehouse45 (much less @potus45) to commit to meaningful new #opengov reforms or restore any, much less stop lying, censoring, or obstructing justice & Congress
For years, the USA’s watchdogs have become increasingly skeptical of @opengovpart as a platform for reform (or checking regression) — #opendata & digital government commitments got in, but not needed ethics reforms, press freedom or anti-corruption laws fcw.com/articles/2018/…
In 2021, good governance advocates are asking @potus directly to take action on #opengov knightcolumbia.org/content/knight… & working with Congress on a host of urgent reforms.
The USA banning anonymous shell companies wasn’t the result of any “national action plan”: e-pluribusunum.org/2021/01/01/in-…
