The Government 2.0 Taskforce invites you to an Open Forum

On the 22 June 2009 the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, the Hon.
Lindsay Tanner MP and the Special Minister of State, Senator Joe Ludwig,
announced the formation of a Taskforce (http://gov2.net.au/) to
investigate how the Australian Government can use new 'Web 2.0'
approaches to expand the uses of Commonwealth information and improve
the way government consults and engages with citizens. 

The Government 2.0 Taskforce will make recommendations for government
policy and fund projects which offer promise in accelerating the coming
of Government 2.0. 

The Taskforce seeks input through a series of open forums, in each
capital city over the next few weeks.  The Taskforce is seeking input
from a range of audience groups - government, industry, academics, NGOs
and interested others.  

In order to disseminate the forum as widely as possible, we would be
grateful if you would forward this invitation to others in your network
who may be interested in attending.
