Yes.
Just to add one more thought, one particular kind of international institution to keep an eye on is the World Bank, which recently set itself some new standards in terms of openness. Now it seems to be very much an enthusiast for open data, for itself and also for the developed and particularly the developing world. They've long been an exponent of freedom of information as an anti-corruption tool but also as what they call a leverage right to help people gain certain socio-economic benefits. They've now increasingly come to look at open data as helping to serve those ends as well.
