1) An open, transparent Government is
something we create when public government data and information about
government activity is made easily accessible to us – online and in
real-time – and we use it effectively.
2) Government has a responsibility to be open and transparent, but it will not become so on its own.
3) We would rather use positive incentives (the
“carrot”) than negative incentives (the “stick”) to make government
transparent, but we will use whichever is most effective.
4) Changing the way government thinks and behaves is as important as changing government rules.
5) Technology isn’t part of the open government “pie.” It’s the pan.
6) Changing the way the public thinks about
government and how they engage with it, is as important as making
government data and information accessible.
7) Effective and responsible engagement with government will make it work better for all Americans.
8) Achieving our vision of a transparent government
will require the ongoing commitment of citizens in every district
across the United States to make it possible.
9) We will sacrifice “perfect” in order to take action and make progress today.
