[CivicAccess-discuss] CivicAccess-discuss Digest, Vol 83, Issue 8

Thu Jul 17 00:31:24 AEST 2014

Hi Tracey,

I read Mary's report and think it is excellent. I don't see the shadow
action plan as a review of the government's progress, but rather a document
that articulates what Canada's Action plan 2.0 should look like (specific
commitments) from the perspective of Canadian CSOs. I thought a group of
CSOs in the US produced a shadow action plan, but I cannot seem to find it
online.

Cheers,

Claire

I don't think this made it to this mailing list yet...

"Currently, the data available is heavily-skewed to old Census data.
However, there are a few new things that weren?t easily accessible before,
including details on 311 calls, city lane closures and councilor and mayor?s
office expenses, starting from January of this year."

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I attended an OGP consultation in Ottawa. Afterwards I spoke
with another participant about creating a shadow OGP action plan. I know
that this has been done in other countries and that it has been an effective
tool to influence proposed action plans.

I just wanted to survey the list to see whether anyone else has thought,
thinks it would be useful, or would be interested in putting something
together. 

Cheers,

Claire

Hi Claire;

Someone would have to take the lead.  The folks here in Dublin have created
a civil society OGP report, and Mary Francoli at Carleton did the
Independent Review for Canada.  Her report is worth reading.  Once that is
done, whoever would talke the lead would need to assess if the IRM report is
enough and if not, is their warrant for another civil society report.

Cheers

areas are invited to submit a brief letter of inquiry, accompanied by a CV,
before proceeding with the online application process. That letter of
inquiry should be addressed to: OSFellows at opensocietyfoundations.org.

application deadline.

*Eligibility*

The Open Society Fellowship accepts proposals from anywhere in the world.
Applicants should possess a deep understanding of their chosen subject and a
track record of professional accomplishment. Past and current fellows have
included journalists, activists, academics, and practitioners in a variety
of fields. Successful applicants will be eager to exploit the many resources

can see beyond the parochialisms of their field and possess the tenacity to
complete a project of exceptional merit. Proficiency in spoken English is
required.
