International Legislation Section

Hi Jessica,

Your page is making great progress! I only have a few comments. First, you mention that "As of February 2014, 99 countries around the world have implemented some form of national FOI legislation." Is this the most up-to-date information on this? Or have additional countries implemented a form of legislation since then? Also under this section, you go into some detail about US and UK legislation, however if its possible, I advise adding in some discussion about other legislations in areas such as Latin America, Asia, Middle East, etc. And lastly, the list of countries you've provided with the Word doc downloads when you click on it. Is there a way to make this open in a new tab instead? Just a personal preference, but sometimes I find automatic downloads annoying...but then again I'm not a wiki expert so maybe this is super complicated to change.

Hi! Good suggestions. I will update that statistic, and try to find that non-downloadable link. But as for my International Legislation part, I think in terms of the scope of my Wiki- and it being mainly in and for Canadian context, I might not go into other legislation...my wiki is getting long and complicated! We shall see...
