My main response to this idea is to highlight the 'OGIN' I have started shaping up, the 'Open Government Innovation Network' - http://Open-Government.net The rationale for this is the same as the Open Government Advisory Team - Ie. a network of consultants who specialize in the field of Open Government, providing an advisory service to agencies who want to implement these practices. At a high level the main working parts to this would be: - Bringing together a team who combine expertise in Open Innovation, Open Source and Open Data. Be able to advise Governments on the complete spectrum of what Open Government represents. - Build a catalogue of FOSS models that encode all of these practices into repeatable solutions (this site itself is the perfect example). I have started the ball rolling of building the first regional campaign : http://OpenGovernmentCanada.com Neil.
