> gov/gov 2.0 community:
>
> What are the biggest legal barriers to open government efforts?
> What are the biggest legal barriers to transparency?
> What are the biggest legal barriers to participation?
> What are the biggest legal barriers to collaboration?
>
> If you have examples of specific laws or policies that would be great.  I
> know everyone will be tempted to say attorneys, which is fine, just tell me
> why?
>
> Once I get my materials together, I will share them as soon as possible.
> Thanks in advance.

> Cheers,
