The OGP is still working on the basis that Australia will have this done and dusted by the time the Ministerial Level Steering Committee meets in Bali on 4-5 May.
There is virtually no chance of this as whatever work is underway within government on a draft plan is yet to be shared with those outside. At best we are well back in the queue.
But once a plan is submitted, the OGP Independent Reporting Mechanism mandates an ongoing interest in progress towards achieving the commitments in the plan.
So a little ahead of itself, as the Australian plan is apparently still being hatched somewhere in Canberra at this stage, the OGP Support Unit is seeking individuals to carry out research in 33 countries to assess government progress on implementation of plans including, of relevance in this neck of the woods, those developed by Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand.
Preference in each case is to be given to nationals of the country to be evaluated and with experience relevant to the plan. Hmm, could be interesting.
