The DHS Open Government site, available from February 6 to March 19, allows members of the public and interested stakeholders to submit ideas and suggestions on ways DHS can enhance transparency, participation, collaboration and innovation while saving taxpayer money.

The ideas submitted will help guide the development of an official DHS Open Government plan.
