Welcome
The web is no longer just a vehicle for publishing information,
but has become essential to the way NASA does business. As the use and visibility
of web activities increase, it is vital that advocacy, coordination and governance
of these activities are given adequate attention.The purpose of the Goddard
Web Council is to enhance the way web services are managed and implemented
at GSFC.
Following are some of the activities of the council. Registration of Public Web Sites
In response to questions about public web data being consistent with NASA
security processes and homeland security implications,The Goddard Web Council
has focused on web management and policy compliance. We set up the Web
Registry to be able to answer three questions:
- What sites do we have?
- Who are our webmasters?
- Are our sites in compliance with Federal Law?
The Web Registry helps in
GSFC's efforts to ensure that Web sites are reviewed for content
compliance with
NASA policy and Federal law. Web Review
In conjunction with the registration of all web sites that are permitted
through the firewall, the Web Council will be conducting
a review of all such sites to assess compliance with NASA
policy and Federal Law. The date for the start of the review
process has not been set.
Strategic Planning
The Web Council is currently developing a strategic plan for Goddard's
web environment.
