Interim Working Group moving along

by Peter Timmins

The second meeting of the Interim Working Group yesterday saw further progress in developing draft commitments proposed for inclusion in Australia’s OGP National Action Plan.

Agenda and papers for the meeting have been published and minutes will be published in the next day or so.

Still a way to go and a third meeting is scheduled for Monday 19 September.

Thereafter, publication of draft commitments and a period for public comment, prior to an open workshop on 7 October possibly somewhere other than Canberra.

In the lead up to the workshop the Network would like to facilitate briefing and discussion sessions to bring you up to date and hear your views.

When this might be possible should become clear after next week’s IWG meeting.

If you have access to a venue and could give a hand to help advance this idea, please contact me

Thanks for your interest in this important open government initiative.
