How to join the Freedom of Information Advocates Network
If you are an individual

This is where advocates share news of latest developments, discuss current access to information issues, technical points and events in the spirit of confidence and cooperation sharing the goal to advance the right of access to information globally. The discussion list is open to those working on these issues in the NGO, academic and legal fields. We will consider applications from those working outside these sectors and where in doubt will refer decisions about membership of all types to our steering committee.
