We are getting ready for our discussion on revised report by the Committee Of Experts On the Non Personal Data Governance Framework. MediaNama is hosting the session online on Friday (January 15), with a curated and invite-only audience of policymakers, lawyers, businesses, technology professionals, and researchers.
Registrations will close shortly, but you can still apply to attend here.
The Committee of Experts — which is accepting comments until January 27, 2021 — has defined parameters regarding who can seek Non Personal Data, High Value Datasets, what a community is and who can represent it as a trustee, rights over non personal data, sovereign access to data, meta-data directories, and addressed intellectual property concerns. They’ve exempt entire raw databases from data requests, taken private data access out of the ambit of this framework, and defined purposes for which data can be accessed. Above all, it recommends a separate Non Personal Data legislation for governing NPD.
Along with the sessions, we have a reading list below to get you up to speed.
