[GPSCC-chat] consider joining Americans for Less Secrecy, More Democracy

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, Caroline, et al.:


ALL:  What do you think about becoming a "Coalition Partner" of 
"Americans for Less Secrecy, More Democracy" 
(www.openthegovernment.org)?  "Americans for Less Secrecy, More 
Democracy" provides a web portal that invites interested people to 
comment and coordinate action on currently considered legislation. A 
major issue for them right now is S. 2520, the FOIA Improvement Act, 
which reportedly would further limit the ability of government 
bureaucrats to hide documents they don't want published.  I propose to 
learn more about the procedures for becoming a "Coalition Partner" of 
"Americans for Less Secrecy, More Democracy" and report same to this 
group with a proposal for next steps at our next meeting.


CAROLINE:  Could you please place on the agenda for tomorrow evening, 
'Proposed:  Spencer is authorized to ask about the requirements for 
becoming a "Coalition Partner" of "Americans for Less Secrecy, More 
Democracy" and report any recommendations for next steps to 
sosfbay-discuss and our next monthly meeting.' (5 minutes?)


       Thanks,
       Spencer
