On January 12, 2016, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the revival of the DC Open Government Advisory Group (OGAG). This coalition of sixteen members—eight agency representatives and eight members of the public—will provide feedback as the District carries out its Open Government and Open Data policies.
The purpose of the group is to “evaluate the District’s progress towards meeting the requirements of the Transparency, Open Government and Open Data Directive (Mayor’s Order 2016-094 issued in June); and make specific recommendations for improvements.”
