Final Points

Government in social media vs. free public data? Who owns the public data and how do we understand it? Privacy vs. transparency Are we ready to be open governments? Are we ready to be open citizens? Is open government threat to state security? Are activist safe when using on-line tools? Is social media platform for dialogue with local MP’s? Do we know and understand the work of our parliaments? Are we involved? Are we educated to be involved?

Do we have the right tools and technology? Do we have global approach to legislation? Do we have leading personalities of change? Do we have enough of forums to connect?
