> more open with regard to Public Sector Information and 
> Digital Engagement.

> The taskforce has a number of initiatives underway and there 
> are currently some that might be of interest to OSIA members.
> 
> The Blog is currenlty our main form of engagement with people 
> intereested in Government 2.0 issues. It has been very active 
> and we encourage people to contribute.
> 
> We released an issues paper for comment and while the date 
> for that is passed, if you have a contribution to that 
> process please let me know.
