Thank you to the three of you for your fascinating presentations.
I would first like to address Ms. Noveck. In the text of her presentation, she mentioned that President Obama called upon every nation to make government more open and accountable. In addition, the President asked that the other countries return to the United Nations this September and bring specific commitments to promote transparency.
Could you expand on the scope of President Obama's request? I am asking this question because, here in Canada, we are having trouble with becoming a transparent government; we are meeting some resistance. In the United States, you have obviously been dealing with a specific request on President Obama's part for open government and open data. We are still very primitive here.
What does the President expect when he asks other governments to report to the United Nations? Could you answer that, Ms. Noveck?
