Open Government Principles: Transparency

“ While the Government must be able to prevent the public disclosure of information where such disclosure would compromise the privacy of American citizens, national security, or other legitimate interests, a democratic government accountable to the people must be as transparent as possible and must not withhold information for self-serving reasons or simply to avoid embarrassment.” (Presidential Memorandum on Classified Information and Controlled Unclassified Information, May 27th, 2009)

Participation“Our commitment to openness means more than simply informing the American people about how decisions are made. It means recognizing that government does not have all the answers and that public officials need to draw on what citizens know.  And, thats why as of today Im directing members of my Administration to find new ways of tapping the knowledge and experience of ordinary Americans, scientists and civic leaders, scientists and entrepreneurs. Because the way to solve the problems of our time as one nation is by involving the American people in the policies that affect their lives.” (President Obama, January 21, 2009)

Collaboration“I ran for President because I believe that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together.” (National Archives, May 21st, 2009)
