Hi.

I agree with Paul, and Brian with respect to the reporting requirement,

By way of further example with respect to reporting, the Queensland
Government in Australia has mandated the use of the Government Information
Licensing Framework <http://www.gilf.gov.au> via its Government Enterprise
Architecture<http://www.qgcio.qld.gov.au/qgcio/architectureandstandards/qgea2.0/Pages/azqgeadocs.aspx#g>regime.

When drafting the GILF GEA Position
Document<http://www.qgcio.qld.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/Architecture%20and%20Standards/QGEA%202.0/GILF%20Position.pdf>we
turned to the issue of reporting and required that departments state:
• the manner in which the GILF policy has been integrated into departmental
policies
• compliance of department websites to GILF policy requirements
• *what government information is released by the Department on a licence
other than one of the six Creative Commons licence (for example a
restrictive licence).*
*
*
There are specific time frames for implementation, and an annual reporting
requirement
*
*
The Framework has a policy requirement to choose the least restrictive
licence appropriate to the circumstances.  With regard to the latter dot
point above, and in the context of giving proper effect to the Right to
Information legislation<http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN/CURRENT/R/RightInfoA09.pdf>,
the non-CC reporting requirement, we hope, will add an appropriate degree of
insite for the government, and the Information Commissioner (whom reports
directly to Parliament), on the true status of access to and reuse of
government material.

Kind regards,

Baden
