Freedominfo.org reports the Open Government Partnership has cautioned 11 member governments over missed deadlines and other compliance issues.
Australia is not among them despite the fact that the OGP lists us in Cohort 4 and the Calendar for Participating Countries attached to that page has Cohort 4 countries down to officially join in April 2014, and to "Develop action plan in close collaboration with civil society" by June 2014. The Australia page Current status says "Developing 1st Action Plan."
Although Open and Shut has had an inkling that a decision has been taken to go ahead and there have been many great opportunities recently to make an announcement, the government's stated public position is that whether we proceed to membership or withdraw the May 2013 notice of intention to join remains 'under consideration'.
