[open-government] Challenges for Open Government in Germany

[Walter Keim]

There is a campaign under way for Germany to join Open Government 
Partnership: 
http://opengovgermany.com/2012/01/30/campaign-under-way-for-germany-to-join-open-government-partnership/

In order to improve participation, freedom of information (FOI), 
tansparency, and anticorruption work the legal situation has to be 
changed to meet international standards:

Germany has to improve the federal FOI law, adopt FOI laws in 5 local 
states (Bundesländer), ratify CoE and UN conventions against corruption 
and improve transparency of funding of political parties to catch up 
with Europe, America, OSCE, OECD and BRIC states (see appendix 
<http://www.gp-f.com/en/ak.php#231>: weakness no. 2, 3, 4, 8, 34, 35 and 
52 of National Integrity Report Transparency Germany 
<http://home.broadpark.no/%7Ewkeim/foi-ngo.htm>).
