Dear all



We are thinking about organising the following workshop:



Title: Public sector information online: democratic, social and economic potentials



Relevance:



Since the IGF in Hyderabad significant developments in this field: inter alia, OECD Recommendation adopted at Seoul. EU Declarations and EU-CEPAL joint Declaration of La Granja. Development of various open government initiatives, where public sector information online is a central element.



Description:



Open discussion on policy options regarding the opening of public sector information for re-use for commercial and non commercial purposes. Especial reference to its democratic, social and economic potential. Update on open government initiatives and "data.gov" and similar catalogues of public sector information.



Policies: openness, transparency and improved accountability. Promotion of digital content: innovation through private sector and civil society initiatives.



Policy implications: costs - tariffs or not. Public service mission: where to stop. Conditions for re-use and licensing. Privacy. Intellectual property rights. Public interests (national security, etc).



Workshop format:



Short interventions by panel members followed by open floor debate with attending participants.



Panel members:



Representatives from Spanish Aporta project (www.aporta.es) and Epsiplatform (www.epsiplatform.eu). Speakers from private sector and civil society. Presence from developing countries.
