CFOCEarlier this week we published the agenda for the upcoming July 19 meeting of the Chief FOIA Officers Council.

The Chief FOIA Officers Council — co-chaired by OGIS and the Department of Justice Office of Information Policy (OIP) — was created by Congress to develop recommendations to increase agency compliance and efficiency and to share agency best practices and innovative approaches.
