About DigitalGov CommunitiesCommunities unite federal teams with almost 10,000 memberships across 16 active mission areas -- the largest and most active inter-agency network of transformative federal government managers -- as critical mission hubs that provide a platform for sharing, developing and implementing strategies.Their contributions are limitless in their impact, including the introduction of citizen voice platforms like Yelp for public services and Artificial Intelligence for customer service, the support of more than 700 prizes and competitions, inter-Community platforms like the U.S. Digital Registry, development of the U.S. Public Participation Playbook and other resources for Cyber-Security and Accessibility for persons with Disabilities, and mobile products that put services in the hands of citizens.DigitalGovDG3_5569a9de-9d4c-11e6-9a44-0582b2d70f4fTransformative Federal Government ManagersDigitalGov CommunitiesCommunity Guidelines -- While the makeup of
