As a supplement to Fouad's suggestions could I point to the following which
carry the discussion forwward in what I think are useful ways.

I wonder if anyone has had the chance to go through the following reports on
Open Government by the World Economic Forum and World Wide Web Foundation. I
find the subject to be interesting for future IGF's:

The Future of Government
Lessons Learned from around the World

1. Open Government Data Feasibility Study on Chile 2011. World Web
Foundation, CTIC. http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/02/OGD_chile_PR.pdf

2. Open Government Data Feasibility Study on Ghana 2011. World Web
Foundation, CTIC. http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/02/OGD_ghana_PR.pdf



Your thoughts on the subject are welcome.
