Could China, Mexico, UK, India, as examples become more participatory governance systems by using SoMe than US with our barriers? #sm36

Q3: What are the barriers to citizens and agencies to implement #gov2 strategies? #sm36
Okay, getting to the home stretch. #sm36
Marc, great question on transparency. Transparency is more than publishing data, but enabling citizen exchange. #gov2 #sm36
Kenny, definitely true that the government sets standards - right? Isn't it today ground zero for competition? #sm36

Gov supports hybrid project based networks - transportation, resilient nets-disaster response, discrete exchanges-public comment. #sm36
Is it true that government has to support some of the most complex networks in the world? Providing the basis for learning in pr sect? #sm36

RT : We want tangible benefits to the citizen. But #socialmedia also allows the citizen to help the Govt deliver value. #sm36
Why do we want more citizen access? Is it about lofty ideals or obtaining measurable results? If so, what measurement? #sm36
RT : Q1) Accelerated feedback loops in service of problem identification and resolution. [measurement] #sm36
Would it be fair to say that #gov2 extends to both citizen involvement and enabling gov to better deliver services? #sm36
What does embracing mean to you? #sm36
Daria, Both perspectives. #sm36
