Tue Jan 29 20:32:30 UTC 2013

Dear Laurenellen,

Thank you for sharing this point. I went through the application and did
find funding section. You will be pleased to learn that I am working on
proposing OGD for my country to a multilateral body on invitation. You may
have seen the UNCTAD Information Economy Report 2012 to which I had
contributed substantially at:
http://unctad.org/en/pages/PublicationWebflyer.aspx?publicationid=271
and volunteered to technically edit the Web Foundation Ghana and Chile OGD
feasibility report:
