Thanks Stef, that's great input. I've also raised this with our Advisory Council and look forward to their thoughts :) Our goals and principles remain bold; we don't do open just for the sake of it but to achieve change (as per our strategy shared last summer <https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/presentation/d/1XrtSYCPESzh4W19B6bRBo6Cc5WN8ZXp-5cyXEB-U-p4/>) - we open knowledge to empower citizens and enable fair, sustainable societies - and we are engaging on relevant issues - such as campaigning for open information around contracting through http://stopsecretcontracts.org/ which is going to be ramping up a lot in the next weeks with activity from several local groups. It's super to explore what else we should be supporting in this thread - thanks Will for getting it started! Laura
