Hi, I've been invited to take part in a meeting at the National Audit Office about the Government Transparency Agenda (see below).
I'm working my way through the O'Hara report and the Consultation on Data Policy for a Public Data Corporation (and I'm aware of the Ernest Marples page). Given the remit of the meeting (see below) is there anything specific that I should be raising? David Durant _____________________________________________ From: BYRTUS, Anthony Sent: 19 October 2011 10:32 To: '[email protected]' Cc: LAMBAUER, Daniel; GILL, Sam Subject: NAO workshop on the Transparency Agenda Dear David, Following your email to my colleague Nick Halliday, you are aware that the National Audit Office is carrying out a review of the Government’s Transparency Agenda. It is designed to provide Parliament with an early view of how the transparency initiatives are being implemented across government, and of some of the emerging opportunities and challenges. As part of the review we are keen to engage with the developers’ community to hear: your views on the Transparency Agenda and its implementation your experience with the data sets that have already been released, such as the crime map, spend data sets (transactions >£25k) your views on the quality, formats and licensing arrangements for the currently released data sets your views on the Government plans to release other large data sets in the future, such as weekly train timetable information or sentencing data your suggestions as to which data sets public bodies should release in the future Government’s and public bodies’ engagement with you on implementing the Transparency Agenda We therefore want to invite you to participate in a discussion at the National Audit Office, 157-197 Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria, London, SW1W 9SP, on 31 October, 4 pm to 6 pm. I believe you have already indicated to John Hoggard from Intellect that you would be interested in taking part in this discussion. We will be able to reimburse you for your travel expenses. If you are happy to participate please respond to my colleagues Daniel Lambauer ([email protected]) and Sam Gill ([email protected]), ideally by Friday 21 October 2011. Please contact me if you have any further questions.
