I was interested to note that the Russian OGP plan calls out an expert platform, much like the US OGP Action Plan: http://xn--e1aajfpcds8ay4h.xn--80abeamcuufxbhgound0h9cl.xn--p1ai/en/materials/

2.

Development of a system for expert discussion of effectiveness of development and implementation of socially and economically important decisions, taken by the Government of the Russian Federation, government authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local government bodies.

Creation of a system for information disclosure about drafts of legislative acts under development and the results of their public discussion.
