[open-government] ICYMI: Global PMO campaign for legislative transparency

**Apologies for cross posting**

Hi all,

Many of you may already be aware, but in honor of Global Legislative
Openness Week, Sunlight launched a global campaign to increase the release
of open legislative data in accordance with the Declaration on
Parliamentary Openness <http://www.openingparliament.org/declaration>. With
the support of over 100 national-level CSOs, we sent letters to parliaments
all over the globe asking them to open up their parliamentary data.

I just wanted to share our blog post with preliminary successes and
insights from this project in case it's of interest:

Thanks!
