I'm at the Office of Personnel Management right now, where director John Berry has just announced an innovation: OPM is going to become the first government agency to put its proposed strategic plan online for public and employee comment, and will make discussions among commenters easy for the public to read. I'm not sure how many comments the agency will get from the truly general public, but it is an attempt by Berry to make what OPM does more transparent to observers. And judging from the reporters at his event at a food bank this morning who didn't seem sure what OPM was, or even exactly what the agency's name was, the bar for existing public knowledge is pretty low.
