Hi
everyone
More
than 50 governments are gathering this week in Brasilia to pledge high standards
of transparency, accountability and participation at the first annual meeting of
the Open Government Partnership. This event
represents a major benchmark in an international movement to make government
everywhere more responsive and responsible to citizens.
Rob
Cronin from the Beyond Access campaign is at the meeting and
sent this blog entry about the role that public
libraries other public community points of access can play as part of any
genuine open government plan. it. Beyond access have also put out a policy brief
which you can find here:
Cheers,
