Hi,

Let me contribute several documents for your archives that I produced and that deal with open government info:
-The 2004 UNESCO Policy Guidelines on the Development and Promotion of Governmental Public Sector Information, available at: http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=15862&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html.
 - The National Research Council/OECD report on The Socioeconomic Effects of Public Sector Information Online: Toward a Better Understanding of Different Access and Reuse Policies (2009),
http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12687.
- Toward Implementation of the GEOSS Data Sharing Principles, Journal of Space Law (2009),  http://www.spacelaw.olemiss.edu/JSL/articles/35JSL201.pdf
Also see the 2008 OECD Recommendation on Public Sector Information and related materials at: http://www.oecd.org/document/36/0,3343,en_2649_34223_44384228_1_1_1_1,00.html

FYI, I am currently involved in several activities in this area that may be of interest to you. Let me know if you want to follow up on any of them.

Excellent point Matthew -- so fundamental and obvious that it was entirely forgotten! This should be point 1 in v0.2.

Hello all

Regarding the Reporting of Government Finances paper: are there any plans to include a recommendation that expenditure information is published under a licence which allows re-use?  Much appreciated.
