Here's a fantastic wiki page from Civic Commons that links to recent
city-level openness directives:

> While broader than just open data, several organizations in the U.S. have
> worked together to create a model local open government directive that can
> be tailored for a city, county, state, or other government entity to create
> a legal framework for supporting open government (transparency, open data,
> citizen participation, and collaboration).
>
> The model local open government directive is available at
> http://opengovernmentinitiative.org/.
>
> Currently, Cook County, IL is moving towards implementing an open government
> plan based off of  the model directive:

>
> Also, in addition to its open data plan, the model directive may be featured
> at the upcoming SFOpen forum for San Francisco, CA mayoral candidates:
