I think this is an excellent idea. As someone working with PSI related
issues I can say that there is a lot of confusion on what open data is
and what it isn't.

Having a formalized definition that can be circulated with
stakeholders and given a certain degree of credibility would help out
a lot. It would also make it possible to compare initiatives between
countries.
