Agenda
1) Introduction to the Open Standards: Open Opportunities Consultation
2) Discussion focused on the following questions raised by the consultation: For businesses attempting to break into the government IT market, would this policy make things easier or more difficult - does it help to level the playing field? How would mandating open standards for use in government IT for software interoperability, data and document formats affect your organisation? Does selecting open standards which are compatible with a free or open source software licence exclude certain suppliers or products? Are there any other policy options which would meet the described outcomes more effectively? 3) Summing up of the discussion 4) Engaging on open standards in the future
