https://media.ccc.de/v/mch2022-203-democracy-eventually-digitally-transparent- Governments should be radically more transparent. While calls for more open data and initiatives like the Open Government Partnership have existed for more than a decade, there is still much to be desired. Where do we stand? And, fun to imagine, where could and should we go? It is hard to have a perfect overview of the status of open government across the world. We at [Open State Foundation](https://openstate.eu/) focus mostly on accelerating digital transparency in the Netherlands. We will explain things like: - Why is the **Handelsregister** (company register) still only fully accessible for those with a lot of money? - Why are **Wob-verzoeken** (Freedom of Information requests) on average not answered within the legal deadline? - How transparent are the **external meetings of ministers** and who do they talk to? On the other hand we show why the Netherlands is a great place if you want to know how your municipalities spend their money or want to access national statistics. Still there is much to learn from other countries: - **How does Norway manage their information so well** that they respond to Freedom of Information requests much faster? - What country has **a minister that deals in the most open way with lobbyists**? - Can governments produce **modern open source software**? These examples can show us a future of a digitally transparent democracy. We end the talk by opening up the floor to the audience and love to hear about positive examples of transparent forms of governments around the world.
