This document discusses the concept of reciprocal open source government (roseGOV), where governments openly share open source approaches for public services like licensing, health, education, and justice. The idea originated from presentations by Tim O'Reilly on "Government as a Platform" and the UK's "Better for Less" initiative. Proponents argue that open sharing of approaches between countries like Norway and the UK could reduce costs while improving services. International groups like the Digital 9 nations have endorsed principles of open standards, source, government and connectivity to share digital best practices globally. The document proposes that roseGOV sharing will spread to help governments worldwide respond more effectively to "wicked problems" like climate change and poverty.

- 7. Govt Monopolies & Open Source Exchanges? • In that presentation a ‘what if’ question was posed about government monopolies related to the issuing of driver’s licenses by the UK & Norway. • The what if question was what would happen if both countries exchanged open source approaches, using the example of the issuing of motor vehicle licenses • What if Norway gave the UK their open source approach to the issuing of vehicle licenses in exchange for future reciprocal exchanges of open source approaches to public service provision • What would the downside be, for either country?
- 8. roseGOV for public services globally? • Public services that many countries provide as a monopoly service for their public services like: • Justice-rule of law • Health • Education • Could these and other public services benefit from roseGOV approaches globally?

- 14. Global Sharing for Responses to Wicked Problems? • It is proposed that this idea of the sharing of both data and open source approaches between governments will continue to spread • It will spread because the world cannot afford to do otherwise in response to the ‘wicked problems’ of the world like climate change and poverty for example. • All sectors of society, whether public, private, not-for-profit or education sectors have key roles to play in responding to the ‘wicked problems’ of the world!
