Convene a Working Capital Fund (WCF) Forum

3. Convene a working capital fund (WCF) forum. (2)

The President's Management Council should convene a forum of
representatives from all existing and planned federal working capital
funds at the agency and cross-agency levels. The purpose of the WCF
forum would be to discuss issues of mutual concern at least quarterly.
The forum could sponsor continued learning through sharing of
operational experience, collaborative problem solving, and leveraging
efforts by developing cross-agency projects funded by matching funds. In
cooperation with the OPM Office of Innovation, it could sponsor
conferences or workshops, operate computer bulletin boards, facilitate
site visits, and pursue other techniques to support the transfer of
innovative ideas and experiences using innovation capital to help make
government more responsive. After the initial meeting, the members of
the forum could select their own lead agency to act as host or convener.
Representatives from agencies with existing WCF experience, such as
Transportation and Treasury, should form the initial nucleus of the
forum. This cross-boundary organization should refine its own charter
based on the evolving requirements of members.
