A number of us taking a close interest in Australian involvement in the OGP have started a list for the exchange of information and ideas that might assist in the anticipated government-civil society collaboration to develop a National Action Plan.
Others from non-government groups, and individuals who have an interest and commitment to open, transparent government may wish to join in.
The group has no formal structure, and participation does not involve any commitment, obligation or ongoing engagement.
I'm the gatekeeper at present. If you would like to be part of this, email me at peter.timmins1@gmail.com with a short description of who you are and your interest in these issues that can be shared with other participants.
Background if you need it:
The Open Government Partnership
Australia decides to join
Information Commissioner Promising prospects
Lots more, on request.
