Subject: [Sunlight International] Announcing a new Sunlight Feature: 
OpenGov Conversations
To: sunlight-international at googlegroups.com 
<mailto:sunlight-international at googlegroups.com>

This year at Sunlight has seen a lot of expansion towards research and 
father into international work. Thinking and learning about this stuff 
has involved talking to a ton of people around the world doing really 
interesting work. These conversations have made it clear that a lot of 
us in this space end up wrestling with the same questions about theories 
of change, context dependent outcomes and citizen engagement (to name a 
few topics).Â

So we decided to create a space to share thoughts about these things. We 
are calling this feature "OpenGov Conversations" and the first set is 
here now:Â 
http://sunlightfoundation.com/conversations/effective-transparency/

We propose a question or prompt to four researchers or practitioners 
with relevant experience, and let them share their frameworks and 
insights. For our inaugural conversation we have Tim Davies, Greg 
Michener, Alice Powell and myself responding to the prompt:Â

    What are the three most important conditions that make transparency
    policies effective? Must these conditions precede effective
    transparency interventions, or can transparency policies actually
    positively bring about these conditions?


We hope you enjoy. If you would like to participate in an upcoming 
conversation, please feel free to email me or Lee Drutman 
(ldrutman at sunlightfoundation.com 
<mailto:ldrutman at sunlightfoundation.com>) and tell us a general theme 
you are interested in writing about.
