#NAMA: Issues with definition of communities, public good, and unabated sovereign access to non-personal data
Key Takeaways
Issues with definition of communities: The definition of a community is too broad and ambiguous. Besides, several digital communities, which would produce data, may not even be real world communities.
Need to seek more accountability from data trustees: Trusts don’t necessarily ensure transparency, and as a result, data trustees need to be held to a higher regard. They should publish annual transparency reports highlighting the high value datasets (HVD) they create, and should be open to judicial scrutiny.
High value datasets may have privacy implications: Since the definition of a data trustee and a high value dataset are too broad, high value datasets might potentially contain personally identifiable information (PII), giving way to privacy concerns.
