UK civil society meet to explore shared vision for open government

by TimDavies

This network met today (11th October) at the Free Word Centre, London to explore a broad agenda of open government issues, and work towards a shared vision for open government priorities.

The meeting split into two parts. The morning consisted of an introduction to, and updates on, the OGP process, with input from Charlotte Alldritt, representing Cabinet Office, followed by quick-fire presentations covering key open government issues, ideas and initiatives. The afternoon took the form of open space dialogue on key civil society priorities for the ongoing UK OGP process.

You can find a Prezi presentation that steps through much of the morning content here, and most of the presentations were backed up by short one-page briefings, which are available for download here. We hope to add video clips of the presentations here soon.

The afternoon discussions are currently being written up by group rapporteurs and will be shared on the network mailing list soon.
