Yesterday, the @WhiteHouse hosted its first public meeting on open government in the Biden-Harris administration. There still has been no official administration response to the #opengov coalition letter we sent in February: governing.digital/letters/letter…
I bumped it to @PressSec today.

@WhiteHouse @PressSec 2 weeks ahead of the global @opengovpart Summit, the @WhiteHouse has still not brought back whitehouse.gov/open

Many /open pages across the US government still link to it, as you can see at FCC.gov/open, but it’s a 404.

#OpenGov "lives" at open.usa.gov

@WhiteHouse @PressSec @opengovpart This @WhiteHouse has begun disclosing visitor logs online again, posting them as open data at open.whitehouse.gov

But it has refused to disclosed logs of the virtual meetings it has held since January which replaced in-person meetings in the pandemic: politico.com/news/2021/03/0…

@WhiteHouse @PressSec @opengovpart The @WhiteHouse isn't posing all executive branch ethics waivers, authorizations, approvals, certifications, pledges, & other legally operative ethics docs (excluding individual advice) on @OfficeGovEthics' website & directing Ethics.gov to it
openthegovernment.org/advocacy-group…

@WhiteHouse @PressSec @opengovpart @OfficeGovEthics This @WhiteHouse has not publicly (or privately) supported bills that would codify visitor log disclosure online for the administration in Congress, nor pushing for a public interest balancing test in the FOIA reforms before the Senate.
