In May 2011 we made an FOI request about about the Open Source Advisory Panel (OSAP) - see also Evidence supplied to PASC by Minister for the Cabinet Office. Eventually we were advised:

• Cabinet Office is in the process of redefining [the structure] so that OSAP becomes an online forum
• The Terms of Reference for the OSAP are in the process of being drafted and will be available on the Open Forum Europe (OFE) website [...] are exempt from disclosure under section 22(1) of the FOI Act
• No OSAP work plan has been agreed for next year
• No meetings of OSAP have taken place
• No advice has been provided to Government via OSAP
• OSAP has not formally met

Today, looking at the OFE website it is difficult to understand how the government ICT-SIP can describe the OSAP as being already "established" so we've asked for clarification.

As ever, your improvements and annotations are welcome
