We read about the United States every day in our newspaper clippings. There are all sorts of initiatives. During our “Right to Know” week, we had people from the government, the national archivist, and he talked about the new data sets, Register 2.0, which basically allow people to view online all the legislation and regulations that are being discussed and presented before Congress. People can actually submit comments on the legislation directly online using Register 2.0, and that's open to the public. That is new. It has come online since I was here last time.
The main change in Australia is that the government has responded to Taskforce 2.0. They agreed with most of the recommendations, some with modifications, and they made a declaration in favour of open government, which was the first and foremost recommendation of the task force.
In the U.K. as well, Prime Minister Cameron made an open government declaration in support of the initiatives, and I read about the new transparency board, which is now going to be mandated to look at open government and how it is implemented in the U.K. government. That is new since I was here last spring.
