The Electronic Government Portal Advisory Board will meet at 9 a.m., Wednesday, August 14, at the Oregon State Library. The meeting is open to the public and may be attended in person or via the web; public comments will be taken from those attending in person and online. To join the meeting virtually, please see the instructions. The agenda and handouts are posted on the advisory board’s website.
The legislature established the advisory board with enactment of ORS 276A.270-276. The board advises the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) on key decisions and strategic choices about how the CIO manages and operates the state’s web portal services.
The Oregon.gov portal is the connection point for citizens to access state agency services and information on the internet. “Web portal services” means providing needed hosting, content management, electronic commerce, public collaboration and application development to operate and maintain Oregon.gov, online services and make payments over the web. The board provides oversight of specific websites, services and online payments where agencies choose to utilize the state CIO’s E-Government Program as their service provider.
With the board’s advice, the state CIO wants to make Oregon web portal services and their operation as effective as they can be for citizens to interact with state government.

This issue is impacting the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches. Members of the public may experience delays with accessing state websites and call centers.
