Recommended Posting Procedures within Departments
The following internal procedures are recommended to ensure New Brunswick government departments and agencies post information on the World Wide Web that serves their objectives to the maximum extent, while supporting the overall government policy direction.
1. Any branch or program area within a department wanting to post information on the government server must require advance approval from the department/agency senior management, or a designated sub-group.
2. Material submitted to senior management for posting approval must meet all applicable standards for Government of New Brunswick Internet material, including availability in the official languages. It should reflect the client-driven priority of government.
3. Visual and functional design of the material must be consistent with central government-adopted style guidelines.
4. The originating department/agency bears all responsibility for any budget and staffing demands related to the design and development of the material prior to posting, as well as server space charges for the period the material is posted. Departments may choose to assign such responsibilities internally to specific branches or program areas.
5. The designated branch or program area must be prepared to carry all responsibility for answering "e-mail" inquiries to the department/agency relating to material posted.
6. The designated branch or program area must carry all responsibility for keeping posted material up-to-date. Out-of-date information must be removed from the WWW site to ensure optimum use of resources.
7. The originating branch or program area must ensure easy-to-use links are inserted in posted material to guide Internet users toward related information available from other program areas within the department.
8. The department is responsible for ensuring appropriate links are made to other relevant departments and agency information, so all Internet users have a full opportunity to understand and make use of inter-relationships between agencies within the New Brunswick government.
