OpenGov Dashboard - Earlier Edition

The Open Government Directive issued on December 8, 2009, called on the Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Officer to create an Open Government Dashboard to assess the state of open government in the Executive Branch. The Dashboard tracks agency progress on the deliverables set out in the Directive, including each agency’s Open Government Plan. This is an earlier version of the Open Government Dashboard. The current version is available here.
