This is a good question. It goes back to my earlier conversation with Mr. Calkins briefly this week in terms of this, and Mr. Bratina mentioned this as well. The more information we actually put out there that is open by default, the lower the administrative burden in terms of ongoing.... Right now the onus is on citizens to prove why they deserve to have the information. With open by default, the onus is on government to say why the citizens don't deserve that information. That's where we have to evaluate the reasons why something can't be out there.
I find it compelling, and again I ask the committee to understand that as we move in this direction, it will take time and we will err sometimes as we're doing this. You can't make significant changes in government, or business, or any organization without sometimes making mistakes. I would rather us make mistakes and move forward with an agenda that is moving towards progressive and open and transparent government than to sit still.
We will try to make major changes in order to make government more open and more transparent.
