Hi Daniel,

I have done more than 'spot' that report. I provided detailed input  
into it. Helen Darbishire, of Access Info, and I have had some  
discussions about how to extend a traditional right to information  
human rights analysis to OG but there is still a lot of background  
work and thinking to be done.
