GovAccess#2v2: gov-access focus + joining this list
Jan 28, 1994 [#2v1 - Jan. 19, 1994, revised to delete obsolete information]
SOME DIMENSIONS OF THE GOV-ACCESS/PUB-RCDS TURF
Note: Access to public records is one component of a broader issue -- the
input side (from the public's perspective, the perspective of this list).
Functionality in which citizens may be interested:
access to information, online feedback to officials & agencies
online access, offline bulk-data access, info services (not just data)
personal use, nonprofit-organization use, commercial/tax-paying use
public dissemination, community discussion (town-sized to Village Earth)
Level(s) of government in which citizens may be interested:
city/town, county/parrish, state, federal, multi-national
<specific areas of special interest>
Types of public government information in which citizens may be interested:
political disclosures, legislative, judicial/courts, all public records
<specific topics of special interest>
If yer willin', it would be nice to know your interests -- which will *not*
be disclosed to anyone else, unless your identifying specifics are removed.
**If you respond, please be SURE to indicate whether you are already on this
distribution list -- i.e., you received this, directly to your eaddr.**
TO BE ADDED TO THIS GOV-ACCESS INFORMATION-DISTRIBUTION LIST
Several people pointed out that I neglected, in posting #1, to state how
new-comers can be added to this distribution list. Tsk! <blush>
(This list has been growing for about 9 months; originally focused only on
one specific California bill mandating free online legislative access.)
Email your request to jwarren@well.sf.ca.us
At a minimum, state the email address you wish added to the list. If you
are willing, please also include your traditional contact info: name, work,
organization, snailmail address, voice phone, fax.
Please note: So far, this is an information distribution list; not a
discussion list. However, several of us are planning moderated and
unmoderated USENET news-groups on these topics -- that will *not* conflict
with existant news-groups and lists. Yes, as soon as there are coherent
draft-plans, this list will hear of them.
Mo' as it Is.
