Partnership


Colleagues,
=20
I very much appreciate this transparent process of requesting =
endorsements
for those seeking an "official" invitation to this most significant =
event.
I understand that such an invitation will at least symbolically be seen =
as
identifying a representative of Canadian civil society in the context of =
the
OGP and thus the "decison" concerning this (in this case through a =
process
of endorsement by civil society organizations) is not a trivial one.
=20
A brief background, I have been working in the area of community and
grassroots based Information and Communications Technologies as a
practitioner, advocate, policy advisor, researcher and teacher for =
almost 20
years (17 to be exact) beginning with work developing the first research =
and
development group for community based Internet applications in Canada in
2005 in Cape Breton.
=20
Since then I've worked in these areas in Canada and internationally in a
wide variety of capacities. =20
=20
My interest in OGD and in the issue of endorsement comes from this
background, my personal interest and my role as a Board member of
Telecommunities Canada <http://www.tc.ca>=20
which is Canada's oldest continuing organization concerned with =
"ensure(ing)
that all Canadians are able to participate in community-based =
communications
and electronic information services by promoting and supporting local
community network initiatives"
=20
With this as a background I have in recent times become somewhat active =
in
the Open Government Data space by commenting on (and critiquing) certain =
of
the positions being taken within that space from the perspective of the
broadest base of potential end users of OGD (i.e. local communities and =
the
grassroots).
=20
In this context I would refer you to a series of posts on
<http://gurstein.wordpress.com> my blog concerning open (government) =
data
and specifically what I have termed processes to ensure "effective
<http://gurstein.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/open-data-2-effective-data-use/=
>
use".
=20
What I was attempting to do overall in the series of contributions to =
the
O(G)D discussion and specifically in the post on "effective use", was to
insert into the OGD discussion a concern for ensuring the widest =
possible
base of end users for OGD and including those who might otherwise be
considered among the socially excluded (or in other contexts the =
"digitally
excluded").  My argument was that unless OGD implements pro-active =
measures
to support this broad base of OGD "inclusion" it runs the risk of =
further
empowering those who are already being empowered with Information and
Communication Technologies and thus further widening existing social and
economic disparities.
=20
I have now reviewed David Eaves' application and have examined the =
Community
Data Program's website and regrettably I did not see in David's blog any
reference to these issues although I may have missed this.  On the CDP
website I did see as one of their core purposes to  "Train organizations =
to
analyze community data and use it for better decision making" and =
elsewhere
on their blog I note some examples of their providing training and =
support
in government data use for community based (including advocacy)
organizations.
=20
The direction of my leaning concerning endorsement (and my =
recommendation to
Telecommunities Canada concerning its endorsement) is thus clearly =
towards
CDP but I would like to use this opportunity to invite David to comment =
on
the above and perhaps to clarify his own position on these matters.
=20
(I should also like to add as a sidenote that the Journal of Community
Informatics <http://ci-journal.net>  (open access open archive double =
blind
peer reviewed) of which I am the Editor in Chief will be publishing =
later
this year, a special issue on Community Informatics and Open Government =
Data
edited by a leading (UK) OKF member and a leading member of the Indian =
open
access community in which a number of these matters will be more fully
reviewed.)

Best,
