The Chief Information Officers Council (CIOC) is the principal interagency forum for improving agency practices related to the design, acquisition, development, modernization, use, sharing, and performance of federal information resources. Established by Executive Order 13011 in 1996 and codified in the E-Government Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3603), the Council is comprised of the Chief Information Officers and Deputy CIOs of executive branch agencies, the Federal CIO at OMB (who serves as Chair), the Federal Chief Information Security Officer, and the Administrator for Electronic Government. The CIOC develops recommendations for OMB IT policy, identifies opportunities to improve federal IT performance, coordinates multi-agency IT initiatives such as cybersecurity and cloud adoption, supports federal IT workforce development, and disseminates effective IT management practices across the federal government. The Council publishes guidance, playbooks, committee output and its charter through councils.gov, the consolidated federal executive councils hub GSA launched in March 2026; its long-standing home at cio.gov now redirects there. The Council operates no developer program and publishes no API.
Chief Information Officers Council publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include CIO, Cloud, Cybersecurity, E-Government, and Federal-Government.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Government & Public Sector regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
The CIOC publishes its charter, leadership roster, committee output, playbooks (e.g., Cloud Smart, Modular Contracting, IT Modernization), and federal IT guidance through cio.go...

detail: The CIO Council is a federal interagency policy forum, not a software publisher — its output is guidance, playbooks
and a charter served as static Astro pages and PDFs on councils.gov, and a named-path probe of www.councils.gov, councils.gov
and cio.gov on 2026-09-05 returned 404 (or a 301 to www) for every OpenAPI, GraphQL, MCP, agent-card, llms.txt and apis.json
location, with a negative-control path confirming none of those hosts echoes paths.
