Washington, D.C’s IT department is showing off its new data policy, soliciting public input on a document governing both data security and open data efforts in the nation’s capital after the District’s new chief data officer got a chance to put his stamp on the draft.
Mayor Muriel Bowser first unveiled a preliminary version of a policy specifically addressing open data when she hired Chief Technology Officer Archana Vemulapalli in January, and posted the draft online. But when Vemulapalli tapped Barney Krucoff as the city’s new CDO this summer, he broadened the scope of the process to include information security practices in the policy as well.
