Dear all,

last August I asked you [1] about the future of this WG and suggested we merge it with the Open Government working group. [2]

Arguments pro were:

- there is a huge overlap of members
- many mail is cross posted to both lists
- attendance in monthly calls is relatively low
- traffic on this list is relatively low
- WG activities are relatively low (other than mailing list)

Arguments against were:

- more focussed exchange / debate on EC policy, activities, news, events

An additional consideration might be that the european psi-reuse community has a home at ePSI platform.

If people do not strongly object, I propose that:

1. Merge this WG with its wiki and list with the Open Government WG wiki and list.
2. Please subscribe yourself to the list of the Open Government Data WG at: http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-government
3. Close this list on 15th February. 

Alternatively we could subscribe all of you to the Open Government WG and those how do not wish to be there could unsubscribe themselves. 

What do people think?

All the best
Daniel
