Data has become more and more important in all digital use and internet governance questions. As governments and private companies collect and process large amount of data, there is an urgent need for decision makers, academics, civil societies and private sectors to work together closely to improve the existed governance system in order to reinforce the publication of quality data in open data, and make sure the data can be used for general interest research and policy making. The UK is working on a new national strategy including the use of private data for general interests; France, through the Digital Republic Law, has set up “Data as a Public Service” and is working on the concept of "general interest data" including private data; Argentina has launch a new strategy on open data and Roland Berger is a leader in terms of managing big data, mostly private data. Hearing the views of all these actors will enable to understand the main stakes and questions. The discussion with the participants in the room and online will bring precision and innovative perspectives on these questions.
In order to facilitate the discussion, the moderator will introduce the debate and the main stakes, and will than ask a question to each speaker; they will have each 5 to 7 minutes to reply. The moderator will than 2 to 3 other short questions if needed to highlith more precise information for the debate. Speakers have 2 to 3 minutes each to reply. And for the next 30 minutes, the questions will come from the room and online participation. The best way is to take 2 to 4 questions in a row, 1 or 2 online and 1 or 2 in the room. The moderator will make sure that the replies from speakers have are short and precise. The panel will be prepared before; The moderator will call each speakers before to brief him closely with the format and prepare the introduction with the speakers.
The amount of Data, collected and processed by government, civil society and the private sector , through internet, increases on a daily bases. The governance of these data is closely dependent on the governance of internet and vice versa. The most discussed questions of data governance for better data privacy and protection is a major stake. However, we wish to take another angle to think about the governance of data: how to make the best use of all this data, make sure these data can be better used for general interest research and policy.
