New report on how to embed open data when facing political change - International Open Data Charter

"Today we’re launching Resilient reform in government: Lessons from open data leaders, a collection of reflections by officials on how they worked to embed reforms before the recent US, French, Philippine and Kenyan national elections. We would like to invite you to join in a live webinar we will be hosting on December 6th at 3pm GMT, 10am ET. Go here to register. The morning after the US election, just over 12 months ago, I stood at the back of a large Washington DC conference hall filled with the heads of election commissions from every corner of the world. Together we watched live as President Obama spoke about peaceful transitions of power and respecting the will of the people. It was an emotional and inspiring moment on an otherwise gruelling day."
