> *As partners we are extremely excited to announce the Global Open Data 
> Initiative (GODI); an action to share principles and resources for 
> governments and societies on how to best harness the opportunities 
> created by opening government data.*
>
> With this initiative we intend to provide a roadmap of policies and 
> institutions that governments can use to build meaningful new open 
> data reforms and initiatives, based on the successes of others. The 
> formalized collaboration is motivated by the fact that each of our 
> organizations are in different and complementary ways focused on 
> developing tools and ideas to help build locally and globally 
> sustainable open data ecosystems. Putting our strengths and networks 
> together in the Global Open Data Initiative is a natural step towards 
> intensifying these efforts.

> At this point we are still in an early stage, but have identified six 
> key areas of action:
>
>   * Serve as a global guiding voice on open data issues
>   * Provide a leading vision for how governments approach open data
>   * Increase awareness of open data
>   * Support the development of the global open data community
>   * Amplify and broaden the evidence base for open data
>   * Gather and strengthen existing resources
