Our major focus areas for the next coming years are legislative transparency where Sunlight has already taken a leading role in creating and coordinating a forum for national Parliamentary Monitoring Organizations (PMOs), influence/money in politics and the transparency of political finance, and open data in general, where Sunlight plans to join with other groups to pursue meaningful transparency and accountability from open data.
