This is quite an impressive civil society getting its coordination act
together for input into their government's OGP plans effort. - Steve

Hello

As you know, we've collected 79 ideas from civil society for commitments
for the UK's new OGP Action Plan. Last week a group of the network themed
the ideas into 10 topics. The next step is to refine the ideas under each
of these themes into a smaller number of clear, specific and impactful
commitments. Those commitments will be taken forward to discussions with
the government on the new action plan. For each of the themes, we've
identified a volunteer to help steward its development. The themes and
leads are:

In each of the Google Docs linked above you will find templates for the
commitments and the ideas submitted through the Open Government Manifesto
process. These documents are open for anyone to contribute to. Each group
working on a theme will need to:




   - Review the existing commitment ideas proposed through the Open
   Government Manifesto and identify key elements of these to draw upon;
   - Draft between one and three commitments that should be put forward by
   civil society for inclusion in the next UK OGP National Action Plan.

Some of the ideas may, with a few tweaks, already be strong enough to form
a commitment. Others will need combining with overlapping ideas. Some will
not be strong enough to become a commitment, but please consider whether
aspects of them can be used elsewhere (e.g. as actions under other
commitments). The notes from the theming workshop last week may help you to
decide how to approach an idea:

The deadline for developing of the commitments under each of the themes is
the end of August. We’ll be setting up a meeting of the network in early
September to do a final review of the themes and finalise the manifesto.

I am heading off on holiday this evening, so am now handing over to my
colleague Josephine to guide the process for the next couple of weeks.

Thanks,
Tim
