I have had discussions with certain people in the States, with some people from the Carter Center--that's Jimmy Carter--that has a strong component of access to information, and also with the director of the justice department who is responsible for access to information within the Obama organization.
Yes, it was hailed as a major success in terms of reiterating the president's position to the administration in relation to the presumption of disclosure in the administration of the act. Has it had tangible results? I don't know that there has been any data collected in that respect. What I do know is that one of the major initiatives of the Obama administration has been this new open government website, Data.gov, which basically puts forth raw data in relation to several initiatives. For instance, in regard to the budget information, they did not produce a PDF version of the budget; they actually produced the raw data that was used to produce the budget.
So that is a completely new initiative in the States, and it has already generated quite a lot of usage.
