What we've done is a process that provides basically a wrapup of ideas and recommendations that is put through to actual legislators. It is only part of the solution we know. Ultimately we'd love to see the actual legislation drafting process opened up in a similar way, but Public Sphere is a step towards that. We think the next step it having Departments use this kind of process so the recommendations they put to Ministers (as is their job description) is as well informed and collaborative as possible. Not sure how many nor how long until any of our recommendations are implemented, but we will be watching closely, as will all the people who participated. The transparency doesn't just help with the drafting process, but with the community expectations and the followup process. Thanks for your thoughts.

(particularly any legislation that will force government agencies to put public sector information, that has no good reason not too, into the public domain or at least licensed in a way that allows reuse.)
