Summary
1. Secrecy and corrupIon have harder Imes in digital democracies. Transparency is contagious. Globally.
2. Ordinary people digitally join forces, become powerful counterparts in policy making.
3. Governments which don’t open will be made transparent bo6om up. It is WHEN not IF.
4. Open government likes open source, sharing, collaboraIon.
5. The Tech Community is a key enabler of this (r)evoluIon. Doing business in open gov means helping our democracies get be6er.
