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.
Participants:
Adrian Cunningham, National Archives of Australia & John McDonald,
