[okfn-br] Encontro de Londres

[Alexandre Sampaio]

Prezados,

Envio essa mensagem para que todos saibam que a Artigo 19 e o GPOPAI foram convidados a participar de um encontro sobre a OGP que será realizado no início desse mês de julho.

Contados pelo pessoal que lida com a participação da sociedade civil no âmbito da OGP, fomos chamados a compartilhar nossa visão de como o processo vem sendo tocado no Brasil. É importante ressaltar que não fomos convidados como representantes da sociedade cvil brasileira, mas sim como duas organizações que acompanham o processo desde seu início e que se interessam em contribuir com a discussão também no âmbito internacional. 

Segue abaixo a agenda do encontro.

Estamos abertos para comentários e propostas. 

Abs.,

Alexandre Andrade Sampaio (Mr.)

Dear all,

In exactly one week time we will meet each other (again) in the beautiful city of London for the first OGP civil society learning event. I am really looking forward to spending a couple of days with this group exploring OGP experiences and lessons so far and working with Mexico and Indonesia especially in preparing for the future chairmanships. It seems we have a very interesting mix of roles, skills and issues around the table!

If you follow the link below you will get the latest agenda - we have tweaked it a bit too get a better flow of all the sessions. If you see your name in the column 'led by', don't panic, Tim will contact you later today to officially and politely ask you for this and we can run through these sessions at a later moment with you to prepare.

There is also some homework for all of you. In some detail:
Prepare for the introductions (who you are, what you hope to gain, why you are engaged with OGP)
Prepare for session 1.1 (key country experiences and lessons clear in your head and ready to share) - and for those from the UK, US and Brazil also look at session 1.2 that dives even deeper into your experiences.
At the end of day one we will go for dinner at a place called Tayyab's. It serves halal and vegetarian. If you have specific other requests or allergies it would be good to notify Tim. We assume you will all join us - if not please notify Tim.
Prepare a 3 minute inspirational example from your country on open government (for session 2.1)
For our colleagues fom Indonesia and Mexico - we do expect you to do some homework on the night of July 3 to be ready to impress on the morning of the 4th (session 3.1).
I am not sure when you all will arrive, but if you are up for it, do meet us for welcome drinks on Monday July 1 at 18.00 (name/address will follow).

That's the practicalities. The agenda is packed, so it will be a lot of hard work, but looking at the programme and knowing most of you I think it will definitely also be very inspirational and a lot of fun.

See you next week and do let me or Tim know if you have questions.




Paul
