new generation of open data adopters rising through the ranks• Scores for open data’s impact on accountability have fallen 22%• Open data should not be a luxury for developed countries• Governments must embrace a culture of open by default for the long-
term• Governments must make open data a part of their anti-corruption
strategies

“We believe the way to sustain the release of open government data is to ensure it is embedded into what we call the ‘new business as usual’. This ensures open data is woven into the everyday planning, delivery and processes of government agencies”.

My crystal ball-gazing
Link to international policy:
UN Sustainable Development Goal 16
International Open Data Charter
Open Contracting Data Standard
Create new policy and machinery of government
Make open licensing and open formats mandatory for all publicly funded information and data
Bring together the LINZ, SSC, and DIA open government and open government data teams & the Data Futures PartnershipMove programme’s monitoring and impact assessment role to the Office of the Auditor General
To achieve business-as-usual open data release:
Continue regular advocacy with senior officials to expand and deepen agencies’ open data practice
Train staff regularly in open licensing, formats and technical skills
Update information systems to become open by design and default
Increase data analytics capability, including for policy development
Accelerate work with users and agencies:
Roundtables of suppliers and users set data supply prioritiesCode of Australia teams of technologists, designers and community organisations work in government agenciesAll rethink how users can find government’s open datasets more easilyConsider how to assist Pacific countries to use open dataPrioritise transparency work using the US Govlab’s model
