The Federal Web Managers Council (Web Council) is an interagency group of senior federal government Web managers and new media directors who work together to improve the delivery of United States government information and services online. Established in 2004, its current mission is to provide opportunities for collaboration among U.S. government Web and new media professionals. It also recommends policies and guidelines for all U.S. federal public websites. The Web Council serves as the steering committee for the much larger Web Content Managers Forum, a network of more than 2,000 government Web managers across the country. Among other activities, the Web Council organizes training events and conferences through DigitalGov University (formerly Web Manager University), coordinates the work of its various Sub-Councils, and helps modernize federal policies to enhance the online delivery of government services and information. It also manages the HowTo.gov website. Most recently the Web Council has been involved in the .gov reform effort. On December 16, 2011, the .gov Reform Task Force released the "State of the Federal Web Report", which highlights for the first time the size and scope of U.S. federal websites. ==History== The Web Council started as the Web Content Management Working Group.
