Openworld Institute Advisors

An advisory group is being formed to help guide the eGovernment initiatives of the Openworld Institute.

Members of the advisory board will review results of Institute research projects to benchmark and map the forms/approval steps used in the freest economies of the world in different aspects of government regulation.

Once the world-leading practices have been identified, the advisors will identify potential areas for their improvement from among promising policy and institutional reform innovations advanced by think tanks and practitioners. Their recommendations will guide the subsequent development of free and open source eGovernment solutions by Institute-linked volunteer software develoment teams.

Institute Advisors will also provide inputs for the certification of world-class business climates and selection of recipients for a future Openworld Prize. Further information is available on request from Mark Frazier, President of the Openworld Institute.
