- 11. Thirdly the data needs to be OPEN. … And available through an API
- 14. Open data has two roles in policy creation: 1. Enabling citizens to know when to get involved 2. As evidence to support the conclusions and recommendations in the draft policy
- 15. Will support conclusions and recommendations Will allow new insights from citizens

Editor's Notes
- #7: Is this enough? Look at the date range underlined in red - How long has this work been going on? Months? They give me 3 weeks to give them a considered submission… actually only a week, because its been a couple of weeks since I came here to see if there was anything I was interested in. Don’t they know I have a day job, and kids to run around after, this week is like chaos in our household - there’s no way I’m going to have time to read this paper, check out some stuff and then write a submission…. I wish they told me when they started this work, then I might have been able to get prepared for when this wee window of opportunity came. Even if I did have time, it would be helpful to see what others have said – ideas trigger more ideas you know.
