Declassified Government Documents Declassified Government Documents About Declassified Documents | Security Classification | Guides | FOIA Information | Collections at UC Berkeley | Internet Collections and Indexes | Presidential Libraries About Declassified Documents Documents may be classified for many reasons - issues of national security or privacy. a highly-publicized document is published as a part of an investigation. As there are no clear patterns of publication for most declassified documents, it falls to the researcher interested in a document that is declassified to research which agency created the document, who may have researched the document originally, and where it might be now. Security Classification Executive Order 12958 (Classified National Security Information, April 17, 1995) prescribes a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information. The government has had many reviews of security classification. Guides United States intelligence : an encyclopedia.
The Art of Compromise: Scrum and Project Governance - The Architect Insider The concepts of agility and project governance are not fundamentally opposed. Each is an attempt to improve the finished product. Scrum strives to do this through close collaboration and the short inspect-and-adapt cycles of the timeboxed sprints. Project governance strives to do it by what we might call inspect-and-approve (or reject) checkpoints in which the product or project is compared to a set of desirable attributes. However, while pursuing similar goals, Scrum and project governance take entirely different routes to achieving those goals. It is in these different routes where problems will arise in mixing the two. Negotiate and set expectations up front. Fit your reporting to current expectations. Invite them into your process. Reference a success. It's one thing to look at agile software development in a test tube; it's another to experience it in the real world.
The Emerging Fourth Sector - FourthSector.net The Three Traditional Sectors Businesses create and distribute goods and services that enhance our quality of life, promote growth, and generate prosperity. They spur innovation, reward entrepreneurial effort, provide a return on investment and constantly improve their performance responding to market feedbacks. Non-profit organizations give us ways to celebrate, build and protect the many human values that give rise to healthy, thriving communities. Governmental organizations protect and expand the principles of democratic freedom for both individuals and communities, protecting the public interest while at the same time ensuring a level playing field of opportunity and a common framework of laws and their enforcement at a scale that matches the scale of human activity. The Blurring of Sectoral Boundaries Businesses are dedicating more resources to delivering social and environmental benefits. Figure 1. Figure 2.

Supportive Ecosystem - FourthSector.net With such a broad array of activity taking place in the emerging Fourth Sector, why is this sector not thriving yet? This is mainly because there are powerful institutional and structural impediments to the change that is occurring. In order to accelerate the development of the Fourth Sector, a robust ecosystem of support services and infrastructure is required that is tailored to the particular needs of Fourth Sector organizations. Financial Markets Most Fourth Sector entrepreneurs still have to rely on the standard for-profit and non-profit channels to capital. Legal Structures and Regulation At this time, the “legally sanctioned” Fourth Sector enterprise is still largely a hypothetical construct. Tax Policy Current tax policies make little allowance for Fourth Sector organizations. Education and Training Dissemination of Fourth Sector concepts and know-how requires the active participation of our formal and informal educational institutions.

Dans les entrailles de la machine à expresso mondiale « INSTITUT MOMENTUM Seuls les plus obtus écolo-sceptiques nient encore le risque d’effondrement environnemental qui guette nos sociétés : du changement climatique en cours à la sixième extinction de masse, en passant par l’épuisement des énergies fossiles et des métaux, la pollution généralisée ou la destruction de la terre arable (par érosion et par artificialisation), tous les clignotants sont désormais au rouge. Rétroactions positives et accélération En l’espace d’une ou deux générations, nous devrons affronter l’ensemble des ces facteurs concomitamment, et c’est bien le problème : comment relever à la fois tous ces défis, dont chacun pourrait suffire à mobiliser toute notre énergie ? N’idéalisons pas la période qui a précédé notre entrée dans l’anthropocène. Les dommages environnementaux, pour la plupart irréversibles, y furent nombreux. Certains ont beau jeu alors d’accuser le « décollage » des pays émergents, Chine en tête. Philippe Bihouix, mai 2011.
Aux laboratoires de contrôle - une façon pour le renouvellement du secteur public: la FTF [ FTF Dokumentation ] De fleste er enige om, at der er behov for en ny og bedre styring af den offentlige sektor. Men få har et bud på, hvordan man kan udvikle det. I dette notat, som Henrik Hjortdal, Henrik Bendix og Aleksander Stii har udarbejdet for FTF, gives et nyt og spændende bud på, hvordan man med styringslaboratorier kan udvikle meningsfuld dokumentation, styring og ledelse. I notatet beskriver forfatterne, hvordan man tidligere har eksperimenteret med offentlig styring, og hvad tankegangen er bag styringslaboratorierne.

LAB Eau Bien Public 2L'Eau, Bien public, Bien commun — pour une gestion démocratique et durable / Le Laboratoire des idées / Juin 2011 Pour établir ce rapport, le groupe « Eau, les bonnes pratiques » du Laboratoire des idées a choisi deprocéder à l’audition d’un large spectre de personnalités qualiées sur la question de l’eau parallèlementà la prise en compte des nombreux rapports publiés ces dernières années.Fidèles à l'esprit du Lab, nous avons voulu un dossier qui soit " grand public ", c'est-à-dire que toutepersonne n'ayant aucune connaissance particulière ait à sa portée les inormations liées à l'ensemble dela large problématique des enjeux de l'eau et puisse suivre la logique de notre réfexion ; et un dossier quisoit susamment technique pour établir des recommandations tant d'ordre réglementaire que législati,à l'attention d'un programme de gouvernement.Nous avons ainsi tenté d’objectiver au mieux l’approche de cette problématique complexe.
