Chief Information Officers Council

aid: chief-information-officers-council
name: Chief Information Officers Council
kind: government
description: 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.

  description: 'The CIOC publishes its charter, leadership roster, committee output, playbooks (e.g., Cloud Smart, Modular
    Contracting, IT Modernization), and federal IT guidance through cio.gov and councils.gov. The Council does not expose
    a dedicated developer API; resources are distributed as web pages, PDFs, and downloadable documents alongside OMB and
    GSA federal IT management resources. Probed 2026-09-05 across councils.gov, cio.gov and tmf.cio.gov: no OpenAPI, GraphQL,
    MCP, AsyncAPI, agent card or apis.json is served from any host in this record.'

  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.
