Open Government Watch
Open Government Watch is a citizen initiative to accompany and control the Government's Open Government Plan whose objective is to strengthen the defense and commitment to citizen participation and the right to access public information. It functions as an information platform and critically follows the plan, gathering information and inviting the sectors not represented in the Multilateral Commission to collaborate in the evaluation of the execution of the plan and to make contributions to monitoring and improvement. With its own publications and external contributions, the platform seeks to centralize independent information on the execution of the Open Government Plan and the operation of the Commission, disseminate follow-up and monitoring activities inviting new sectors to participate, and open up spaces to the general public to put forward proposals on how to improve the Plan and legislation on open government.

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?
