[OpenSpending] IMF call about the Fiscal Transparency Code -- Thursday May 13th @ 10am EST

[Anders Pedersen]

Hi all,

Last year in August, several of members from the OpenSpending community
helped write a response<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1mKbLL11XA9uDGRxH981BZUtURW3kty7Bb2iTvCJU7_Q/edit#heading=h.rszjlco43yt0>to
the revision of the IMF Transparency
Code.

On Thursday next week there will be a call with IMF about the feedback from
OpenSpending and the many other civil society groups who commented (see
details below). The OpenSpending response is included in the list of
responses to the IMF consultation
<http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/consult/2013/fisctransp/Comments.pdf>

If anyone would be interested in attending the call, and possibly brief
back to the OpenSpending list, please drop a line here.

Best,
Anders
