US president-elect Barack Obama on Saturday took a cyber-step towards greater transparency and interactive government with a new feature on his official transition website called "Seat at the Table."

The initiative calls for the proceedings of meetings between the Obama transition team and outside organizations to be published on the transition website, Change.gov, and to allow members of the public to comment on them.

"In past transitions, meetings like this have been held behind closed doors," said John Podesta, co-chair of the transition team. "Not anymore."
