[open-government] Digital Agenda going local: UK

Tue Oct 25 11:00:46 UTC 2011

Hi Chris

I sent the email few days ago (when I actually registered to the event),  I
fear my message  didn't reach immediately the list?
Besides the questions formulated online were summed up by the moderator and
addressed to the members of the panel.

Anyway, please be aware there are other events like this planned to run
across the UK, see here
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/cf/daelocal/item-display.cfm?lang=en&id=6999

I'm not aware of any representative from open gov or open data (at least
they don't appear in that capacity in the attendants list)
what I can say is that the speakers are considerately discussing a broad
range of topics,  not only related to digital contents and legal barriers to
access it and reuse it, while  touching various other subjects, including
how to tackle infrastructure issues (broadband, payment systems) and tools
to foster reliability of online trade.
At the moment the debate is around music industry and piracy, and how a
cross border reliable sytem for collecting societies and IPR protection
could improve the situation.

I hope you will be able to take part to the next events in the UK or
elsewhere in Europe. If I get any information on that, I will make sure to
update you promptly.

Best

Donatella

heard of this. And without this community being central, the process and
outcome won't have an genuine legitimacy.
