Open Government Partnership Formally Launches (Info and New Web Site)

September 20, 2011 by Gary Price

You can access the new web site at: http://www.opengovpartnership.org/

From Alex Howard (O’Reilly Radar):

Open government is about to assume a higher profile in foreign affairs. On July 12, 2011, the State Department hosted an historic gathering in Washington to announce the (OGP) with Brazil and six other nations. Today in New York City, this unprecedented global partnership will launch. Heads of state, representatives of civil society, members of the free press and technologists will convene at the New York offices of Google to hail the “Power of Open” around the world.

[Clip]

Some 43 countries have now indicated their intent to join this international open government partnership, with the vast majority joining the founding eight members, led by Brazil and the United States. The formation of the OGP revisited the bilateral U.S.-Indian partnership on open government that was announced during President Obama’s trip to India last November, although India subsequently withdrew from the OGP in July.

Alex Howard is liveblogging the launch event on the O’Reilly Gov 2.0 Web Site and you can view a live stream of speeches/presentations here.
