This commitment was added to the amended action plan. Along with commitments 2 and A3, it aimed to open access to information from the Ministry of Rural Development and Food. In particular, this commitment concerned holding an open teleconference with potential stakeholders (universities, research institutions, IT companies, etc.) to inform them about the openness actions of the Ministry, with the prospect of submitting proposals for data that are useful to them. This online discussion was held in May 2021. [71] Based on the minutes of the meeting, public officials were open to publishing datasets related to the proposals from external stakeholders, including civil society, and to continuing conversations with them. [72] It is not clear whether datasets have been published directly due to these conversations, but a CSO representative said it was one of the only current examples of such collaboration between government and civil society.
