HUD's Web Management Operating Procedures

Section 3: Management Controls

E: Content Coordination

Web Managers need to ensure that the content they post has gone through all required clearances. Web Managers should work with their organization heads to establish clearance processes, and Web Managers should train their Web Coordinators to ensure that all clearance processes are implemented.

Required Coordination

• Assistant Secretaries and Regional Directors are responsible for establishing and communicating procedures within their organizations to ensure that all content submitted to the Web Manager has been properly coordinated and approved.
  • Web Managers should meet with their organization heads to develop and document these procedures and should assist their organization heads in communicating the procedures to all involved.
• All website content of a political or policy nature must be coordinated through the Office of Public Affairs before it is posted. It is the responsibility of the appropriate Principal Staff member or Regional Director to ensure that this occurs.
  • Web Managers should meet with their organization heads to develop and document procedures and should assist their organization heads in communicating the procedures to all involved.
  • Web Managers should be on the lookout for new or revised content that may be of a political or policy nature and ensure that it has been vetted appropriately before posting.
• Organizations who want to create content that crosses program or organizational jurisdiction must be coordinated with the other organization(s).
  • Web Managers should be assertive in identifying content that may cross jurisdictions and in coordinating with - or at least informing - the Web Managers of those jurisdictions about potential overlap, before the content is posted.
• Organizations involved in cross-agency efforts must coordinate with the Departmental Web Team.
• Organizations creating new web-based applications must coordinate with the CIO (including the Test Center) and with the Departmental Web Team.
