FYI. .. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "craig [ dot ] thomler [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com" <craig [ dot ] thomler [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> Date: 5 Mar 2014 01:14 Subject: [ogp] What are different Governments' positions on use of social media within chambers? To: "OGP Civil Society group" <ogp [ at ] dgroups [ dot ] org> Cc: Hi, Here in Australia there's about to be a review of social media use by Members of Parliament (MPs) within and outside our national chambers of parliament. The dilemma is over how to treat potentially disrespectful, prejudicial or confidence avoiding messages & the impact being on social channels has on the attention paid by the MPs engaging to activities within the houses they are physically sitting in at the time. I've been asked by an MP for examples of how other governments have resolved (orb not resolved) this matter and are pursuing it out of my own interest in digital democracy - it is an area nations need to think about. Does anyone have any example of government reports, reviews, standing orders or viewpoints on the social media engagement by members of parliament from OGP (or non-OGP) nations that could help inform the review in Australia? Links to the experience & decisions by other governments would be very useful.
