Harry Metcalfe to Lead Sessions on Web 2.0 and Public Consultation at G2010

Harry Metcalfe

Harry Metcalfe will be chairing a discussion on how web 2.0 technologies are transforming the process of public consultation with citizens.  We’ll be announcing his panel members shortly.

Harry is the founder of The Dextrous Web, a startup founded to help organisations – mostly in the public sector – get things right on the web. The Dextrous Web’s clients include The Cabinet Office, The Central Office of Information, The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and Guardian News & Media.

 Harry is also on the boards of the Open Rights Group, an NGO which campaigns to protect and preserve our digital rights, and the FreeLegalWeb, a community interest company with plans to make the law easier to find, read and understand.

 He is particularly interested in making public sector information discoverable and resuable, reforming copyright law, making the public consultation process more transparent and accountable and strengthening the Freedom of Information Act.
