On Monday the Whitehouse Blog put out an item related to the Campaign to Cut Waste. The OMB memorandum which is summarized on the TooManyWebsites.gov post has indicated that agencies need to do a better job of managing content, consolidating micro sites, and increasing usability.

As referenced in the post as well yesterday morning on Federal News Radio the OMB memo states:
Eliminate Duplicative and Outdated Websites -Within 30 days, GSA will make publicly available on Data.gov a list of all registered top-level .gov domain names. This list will be updated regularly. Within 60 days, GSA will provide agency-specific lists on MAX and the Federal CIO will issue instructions for how agencies should identify opportunities to improve content as well as eliminate duplicative and outdated websites. Within 120 days, each agency will use the agency-specific domain name list and related instructions to identify domain names that are no longer needed, websites that should be consolidated or eliminated, and website content that needs to be improved. Agencies will post on their Open Government page the actions they will take as a result of their review.
What impact do you feel this will have on your current website redesign and outreach efforts ?
