Joint Board for the Open Government Plan
The Joint Board for the Open Government Plan is the forum where representatives of government institutions and civil society organizations meet to discuss and decide the commitments of the Open Government Plans. In addition, they design action plans and monitor their compliance. Deliberation is delegated to specific groups, and once the commitments have been decided on, an evaluation committee, also composed of representatives of the government and civil society, evaluates them. The results of that evaluation are then returned to the working groups of the Joint Board for further deliberation and then forwarded as defined commitments to the corresponding government institutions.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
