Dear OGDers,
Well, I found the link(s) to OMB's MAX-wiki comments.
I have not reviewed them yet, but I'd be interested to hear from you
OGDers what you think about them.
I noticed that the language of Beth Noveck's "OGI: Phase 2" that
appeared on the OpenGov Dialogue homepage was just altered to reflect
the availability of the MAX-wiki comments.
That new link leads you to the "Listening Sessions" page of the OSTP
where, at the top of the page, you will see links to the three MAX-
wiki sessions:
OSTP's "Open Government Listening Sessions":
http://www.ostp.gov/cs/opengov/listening-sessions/
which THEN provides the links to:
OMB's MAX-wiki discussion on "Transparency":
http://www.ostp.gov/galleries/opengov/Conversation+on+Transparency.html
OMB's MAX-wiki discussion on "Participation":
http://www.ostp.gov/galleries/opengov/Conversation+on+Participation.html
OMB's MAX-wiki discussion on "Collaboration":
http://www.ostp.gov/galleries/opengov/Conversation+on+Collaboration.html
So take a look at them, as I will, and let's talk about how they fit
with the Brainstorming Ideas. We don't have to wait until June 3rd to
see what the OSTP's "distilling" will do.
They certainly are aware of this email-group, so our thoughtful
comments may get picked up by them.

P.S. Hey, I was interviewed on D.C.'s "FederalNewsRadio" (1500AM-
WTOP) on Wednesday. I'll share the link on another posting.
