To achieve meaningful collaboration, public engagement must go beyond simple crowd sourcing of comments and doc voting. Working relationships must be built with practitioners across ecosystems and industries. True value will emerge when thought leaders can help frame public policy online in real-time, not after the fact. Can OSTP via the Open Government initiative take proactive steps to achieve direct public engagement in policy formulation, and if so, how?
