İn January and February of 2014, the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) will produce 35 Progress Reports for public comment.  These 35 countries joined OGP in April 2012, and the IRM progress reports cover the first full year of action plan implementation.

In Azerbaijan, the IRM researcher Kenan Aslanli summarized his findings:

Azerbaijan took important steps to provide citizens with more access to information via state websites. At the same time, many of its commitments were too vague or openended to evaluate. Most commitments to improve public participation in government remain unfulfilled
