Hi Tracey,
I read Mary's report and think it is excellent. I don't see the shadow action plan as a review of the government's progress, but rather a document that articulates what Canada's Action plan 2.0 should look like (specific commitments) from the perspective of Canadian CSOs. I thought a group of CSOs in the US produced a shadow action plan, but I cannot seem to find it online.

Afterwards I spoke with another participant about creating a shadow OGP action plan. I know that this has been done in other countries and that it has been an effective tool to influence proposed action plans. I just wanted to survey the list to see whether anyone else has thought, thinks it would be useful, or would be interested in putting something together.

The folks here in Dublin have created a civil society OGP report, and Mary Francoli at Carleton did the Independent Review for Canada. Her report is worth reading. Once that is done, whoever would talke the lead would need to assess if the IRM report is enough and if not, is their warrant for another civil society report.

I was at the OGP Europe Regional Meetings and I did not see any of these. Now many civil society groups participated in the creation of their national action plan in very meaningful ways and then track those accordingly. But I have not heard of any shadow plans. There were also discussions on expanding the ogp criteria for the plans, for intance canada got high points on foia because of the criteria which does not measure quality, while cancelling a census, surveys, monitoring stations, quashing scientists and so on are not part of the OGP criteria. The members of the IRM from different countries were advocating for changes as they had to repond according to the specs which they found limiting in some cases.
