Having failed wholeheartedly to get my comments into the Power of Information Taskforce on their recently published Power of Information Taskforce beta Report (can I send you the scribbles on my hard copy please?!), there is one recommendation that warrants a quick post of its own. In many ways, what I’m about to say seems a little academic given the job spec has already been published (quick work that!), but I’m going to say it anyway in the hope of influencing the kind of candidate the government plumps for.

And for once looking back back at the conversations that were had on Twitter during the session, the face to face discussion won hands down at an event for once!
