[okfn-discuss] Open data in the BBylaw of OKFN-BR

Fri Apr 26 14:06:13 UTC 2013

Hi folks,

I am new in this list. I am part of the group that is creating the 
Brazilian chapter of OKFN.

We are in the process to develop collaboratively our bylaw. I have 
suggested to include in the bylaw of OKFN-BR an obligation to show our 
financial data in open data. Before proposing that, I have looked for 
this information on the OKFN's website. I could not find any financial 
report or related information. Perhaps it is my fault that I could not 
find it.

Because of the new Brazilian Law on Access to Information includes open 
data,we are discussing that civil society organizations should set an 
example displaying their information about funders and expenses.

Ahoy!

Jorge
