Spotlight on: Government 2.0 Taskforce with Adrian Cunningham & John
McDonald (41 mins).

In this podcast Julie McLeod discusses the Australian Government's new
Government 2.0 Taskforce which was officially launched on 22 June 2009 by
Lindsay Tanner, Minister for Finance and Deregulation, and chaired by
Nicholas Gruen.  Adrian Cunningham, Director, Strategic Relations and
Personal Records at the National Archives of Australia, explains the
background to Government 2.0 and the taskforce remit in the wider context of
open government, citizen engagement and the use/reuse of public sector
information. John McDonald adds his own personal perspective on the
initiative based on his experience from a career at the National Archives of
Canada, where he was responsible for the management of records across the
Government at a time when electronic records management challenges were
being addressed. The discussion covers some of the records
management/recordkeeping implications posed by the use of Web 2.0
technologies. Both Adrian and John are members of Northumbria's AC+erm
project Expert Panel.
