@nickumia-reisys the main one I saw referenced was M13-13 (apparently in 2013?): https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2013/m-13-13.pdf
TODO. This has to deal with the requirements for open data from the agency's perspective. It is just meant to highlight the key points about open data that effect how we handle the data.
TODO. This will take some time too. For each of the requirements above, ideally we would break them down a little further and then create a metric to track our compliance with it.
To get the complete list and/or a list that is meaningful to the metrics we'd like to improve and/or be representative of data.gov will take additional effort.
The scope of this ticket was to examine our governing documents and see if we are meeting the expectations that exist to support open data and open government. I hope we continue with this work and build the processes to gather the required data and perform self-audits with this information. I think data.gov has a lot of untapped potential.
@jbrown-xentity I think the document you posted was created from this executive order (May 09, 2013)?

Looks like my link is the direction from OMB, yours is the actual executive order. Both are certainly relevant in this case, but good catch!
Yeah, having read the documents that describe the "collaboration" between OMB, Agencies and the "Administrator of General Services" ... I don't like it. The laws make it easy to do finger-pointing, but it doesn't clearly explain how collaboration should work between everyone. I just tried to capture the technical points that we can use to build a better system. 😢
Another source of truth for the Law:

Now that we've moved content to google doc, we can mark this one done. Other tickets may follow.
