| 39 | ICANN should encourage “open data” best practices that foster re-use of the information by any third party. | ICANN Staff | TG5 |
| ON HOLD - Pending External Process |
Action Items:
:
- Ariel Liang to follow up with Chris Gift on this recommendation
Input from Technology Taskforce:
- A significant amount of information produced by ICANN and At-Large over the years is already public however, its not stored in an organised way, (wikis, websites) making information hard to locate and to re-use.
- The TTF is reviewing how best to implement open data standards. Some of the resources on Open Data include:
- The Open Data Handbookhttp://opendatahandbook.org/
- Open Data Guide (http://opendata.guide/)
- Open Data Foundation (http://opendatafoundation.org/)
- Older Notes:
- To the extent that ICANN has data sets that do not contain personal identifying information these should be open and we can work with those groups to advise them on best practices. Most examples focus on Open Government and much of the data of businesses and non profits are not Open or accessible. Research on similar examples did to be done so we can assess whether ICANN is typical or laggards to the access to information
