White House Open Government Stage 1 Wrap Up

Check out the review of Phase 1 of the Open Government directive brainstorming phase from the White House Do you think the IAP2 principles / core values for public participation are "lofty"? Across the world they are being applied by practitioners in public policy, community settings and in commerical enterprises.

This week applications closed for the international core values awards and attracted entries from Ghana, South Africa, UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Thailand. All entries demonstrated how they are applying these core values in public participation. The judges now go to work to assess the organisation and the project of the year that best reflects the application of these values. The new category for innovation will in its inaugural year focus on the use of web-based technology. Results will be announced in time for celebrations at the Conference in San Diego.
