legislation, legislation

Its still not clear at all how the Board is going to get to grips with all the legislation that currently exists and is being put in place:

FOI - apparently a review and some more legislation is coming

EIR

RoPSI

INSPIRE

SEIS

... to name but a few.  These all allow public authorities to charge for data.  How is the Board going to stop these revenue streams?

The Board seems to be driven by an idealistic fantasy of making data free - it will hit many public authorities very hard, in the wallet!

Very good point

Some clear direction from the Board about what local authoriies will be able to continue to charge for an when would be useful. 

Advance notice of meetings?

I too am quiet disappointing that the Board does not publicise meeting dates in advance. Is this really fair to the public?

And yes, if a roundtable will be held how do be get invited? What will the agenda be?

Disappointing that the Board do not publicise either dates of meetings or agenda in advance. 

When will the roundtable be held, who will be invited, what will be discussed?
