Obama transition team making documents, details from official meetings available to the public



Transparency is excellent. At the end of the article it says that the Obama team is considering extending this into the actual administration. The page where these are to be posted isn't up yet. Found it.

WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama is making public details and documents of official meetings between his transition team and outside organizations such as interest groups. The policy, outlined in a memo obtained by The Associated Press, goes into effect immediately.

It is retroactive to the Nov. 4 election and covers the transition period until Jan. 20 when Obama is sworn into office as the country's 44th president.

Obama on Record Pace for Press Availability


Very nice. Now if he takes his online presence to the next level, there should be alot more government online, available to the people.

In the 22 days since winning the White House, President-elect Obama has held four press conferences, taken 22 questions from reporters and has done two sit-down television interviews, the Washington Times reports.

In doing so, Mr. Obama "has beat his four predecessors in number of post-election, pre-inauguration press conferences."
