Subject:	[SOAF] Request for comment on draft
E-Government Act recommendations

[Forwarding from the ICGI via the OMBWatch Agenda
for 
Access list.  --Peter.]


Your review and comment on a draft document, 
"Recommendations for the 
Effective Management of Government Information on
the 
Internet and other 
Electronic Records" is requested.  The draft
document is 
available at 
http://www.cio.gov/documents/ICGI/ERPWG_Recommendations.pdf.

The Interagency Committee on Government
Information (ICGI) 
, a Committee 
charged with implementing Section 207 of the
E-Government 
Act of 2002 
(Pub.L.107-347), is seeking agency and public
comment on 
this draft document.

Section 207 mandates that the ICGI recommend
policies to 
ensure effective 
management of Government information on the
Internet and 
other electronic 
records to the Director of the Office of
Management and 
Budget (OMB) and 
the Archivist of the United States, by December
17, 2004.

The Electronic Records Policy WG (ERPWG), led by
the 
National Archives and 
Records Administration (NARA), has developed
these draft 
recommendations 
based on a determination of the barriers faced by
agencies 
attempting to 
manage electronic information, as described in
the ERPWG 
report, "Barriers 
to Effective Management of Government Information
on the 
Internet and Other 
Electronic Records", issued June 28, 2004.

Comments should be sent to ERPWG@nara.gov or
faxed to 
301-837-0319 no later 
than November 24, 2004 to be considered in the
final 
recommendations.

Nancy Allard
ICGI Secretariat
