18 August 2009This issues paper is intended as a guide to those interested in making a submission to the Government 2.0 taskforce currently underway.

The Taskforce is charged with finding ways of accelerating the development of Government 2.0 to help government consult, and where possible actively collaborate with the community, to open up government and to maximise access to publicly funded information through the use of Web 2.0 techniques. We will do this with recommendations for government policy and also by funding projects which offer promise in accelerating the coming of Government 2.0.

Submissions must be received by start of business Monday 24 August 2009.
