Greetings
Benjamin and others,
We at the National
Democratic Institute (NDI)
are also very excited about the Regards Citoyens-SciencePo-MediaLab conference
on open legislative data in Paris. It sounds like a great opportunity for
parliamentary monitoring organizations (or “PMOs” in our lingo) to share their
exciting and innovative work and ideas, which have contributed to citizen
understanding and engagement in parliamentary processes worldwide. In addition
to attending ourselves, we hope to be able to support the participation of a
few more PMOs in the conference as well.
On a similar and complementary note, we will be sending a save the date announcement shortly for a conference for global PMO leaders that NDI plans to co-host from April 30-May 2 with the Sunlight Foundation, Latin American Network for Legislative Transparency (which Maria Baron has mentioned below), World Bank Institute, and the Embassy of Mexico in the United States. The conference (in Washington, DC) seeks to foster discussion among PMOs on a parliamentary transparency “pledge” that can be used to advocate for increased parliamentary transparency and openness both internationally and domestically. We also hope to explore potential opportunities to raise the international debate on parliamentary transparency, like the Open Government Partnership (OGP), which the Embassy of Mexico and Fundar, an excellent PMO that has worked with the government of Mexico to create its OGP commitments, will help to discuss.
A main goal of this conference is to provide a forum for PMOs to develop concrete ideas for future collaborative activities; summertime in Paris sounds like a great time and place to build upon the ideas and collaborative spirit that we hope to generate in Washington in spring.
We’re planning to release additional information about the PMO Leaders
Conference through the Agora Portal for Parliamentary Development,
including a draft parliamentary transparency pledge that we will post for
discussion. We would very much welcome feedback from this group. If
you would like to sign up for Agora, please email me privately (amand...@ndi.org) and I’ll request a
login for you.
Best,
Andrew

Excelent idea. I'll try my best to be there and to convince the people from demo.cratica!
At the moment i'm working on the Portuguese Legislation: indexing, interlinkage and publishing as open data. So, that would be the place to go ;)
Cheers!
Nuno.
