They will play a critical role in the collaboration of the U.S. National Action Plan for Open Government (NAP 6) and support for broader open government initiatives. 

The Open Government Federal Advisory Committee serves as an advisory body to the GSA Administrator on federal open government and public engagement efforts. This includes developing U.S. National Action Plans, efforts to increase the public’s access to data, advance equity, engage the public in the regulatory process, make government records more accessible, and improve the delivery of government services and benefits. The FAC also advises on open government themes such as access to information, anti-corruption, civic space, climate and environment, digital governance, fiscal openness, gender and inclusion, justice, media freedom, public participation, and improving the delivery of government services and benefits. The FAC comprises a diverse range of experts from civil society, federal agencies, academia, industry, and other interested stakeholders.

The initial focus for the 2024-2026 FAC will be to provide advice on the development of the 6th U.S. National Action Plan and federal open government policy and public engagement.
