    # Civicist Article — Open Government ## Pitch email to Civicist Having put it all together now, the big theme that emerged from the conference was open government (and the related concept of 'openwashing'). This umbrella folds in much of the discussions both at the main conference and at the pre-conference events hosted by g0v (they are a key player in the Taiwan open government movement). The discussions centered around the concept of open government (coming to a common understanding of what open government means), practices (in Taiwan and outside — there is worry in the international community about US commitment to open government slipping in the Trump era) and impact (best practices, measures etc). Based on conference discussions, the core elements of open government are transparency, citizen participation, and collaboration between government and civic communities. Each of these elements have to meet a certain threshold for their to be true openness and not 'openwashing'. We think it would be great to write up a piece based on our learnings from the conference and then open the floor to the civic hall community. Perhaps we can even include pol.is survey on how open government is conceived of by the civic hall community. ## Conference events that can be touched on in the Open Government framework ### Resources Conference agenda — http://civictechfest.org/ Taiwan Open Government report — https://opengovreport.ocf.tw/assets/pdf/report-en.pdf TiCTeC@Taipei website — http://tictec.mysociety.org/taipei (contains collated resources from conference, including videos, photos and shared notes) TiCTeC@Taipei Blog — https://www.mysociety.org/2017/10/02/highlights-from-tictectaipei/ Civic Tech in the Global South — http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/717091503398213001/Civic-tech-in-the-global-south-assessing-technology-for-the-public-good Tiago Peixoto and Jonathan Fox's chapter (suggested by Micah) ### Events #### Taiwan Open Government Report Release Forum (pre-conference event) Taiwan Open Government Report is a research project conducted by the Open Culture Foundation to review the practice and impacts of open government policies in Taiwan from 2014 to 2016.
