Abstract Specification Context The Committee for Science of Governance is created in Indonesia for the preparation of the G20 Summit during November 2022. Goal Create a consensus-reaching process to resolve potential conflicts caused by interdisciplinary/cross-domain concerns. Success Criteria Operating the governing board of SoG using a trustworthy content versioning/publishing system Improve the content of SoG using Smart Contract specified workflows Having two/thirds($2/3$) of active participants sign off on each of the proposed resolutions/propositions.
Concrete Implementation Given Inputs When Process is executed... Then, we get Outputs Initial suggested topics of discussion. A number of experts and volunteer participants initially provided by the committee. Travel and Online meeting arrangements Funding and logicstic supports for traveling experts Define topics of discussion Invite experts to participate in discussions. Online and In-Person participation of Discussion, including email and other forms of content exchanges Refine discussion content and topics Decide on final topics and publishable content Digital recordings of discussion content and textual-based exchanges (email, etc...) A signed publication of participants on topics that they agreed on. A number of sub-committees focused on selected topics Publications submitted and signed by sub-committee members
Boundary/Safety Conditions of Science of Governance Due to reasons that certain protocol breach or total number of participants of the governing board of SoG goes below three persons. Then the program will be considered as a personal project, instead of a collective project.

Context

In the preparation for the G20 Summit to be held in November 2022 in Bali, Indonensia, the origin of the Tri Hita Karana based societal governing principle/compass of the local people. As our world is being digitally transformed dramatically, TFK is challenged to come up with effective and sustainable strategies that we fit under an umbrella term:the Science of Governance(SoG), where operationally-oriented and data-driven strategies could be systematically deployed to cope with imminent societal threats. In other words, SoG should shed intellectual insights on governance processes and sovereignty policies, and provide a protocol for the discourse of governance principles in the era of Big Data.

Objective

The objective of this Governance Committee is to define a theme of data governance to address cross-domain concerns, therefore enabling effective data exchange in application scenarios that require interdisciplinary collaboration. The theme of governance is to be formulated as a protocol for interactions and relate these protocols to known decision-processes(human or machine executable algorithms), government regulations on data industries in general, existing industry practices/standards. We hope that the Governance Committee members will present their own thinkings on how a high-level data governance protocols can be formulated, identify established communities/institutions of data governance practices, and proposal solution strategies to form a meta data governance protocol. In other words, the protocol created by this Governance Committee on SoG will be a meta contract that invites a broad area of domain experts to submit their proposed conditions for fair and just cross-domain engagements. The evolution of this meta contract will be recorded digitally, timestamped, encrypted for protection of content security, and edited for publication until the consensus for contract publication is reached. The Byzantine Fault Tolerance of 2/3 majority wins the argument will be the initial rule of consensus criteria.

Success Criteria

Based on Byzantine Fault Tolerance, the rule of consensus is going to peg at two/thirds($2/3$) majority votes.

Output

The signed publications will be based on blockchain technologies and will require its participants to apply for blockchain accounts on public available data infrastructures. Digital accounts such as Facebook, Github, LinkedIn and other popular social sign-on systems are considered valid way of verifying these participants' identities.

Process

This Governance Committee will meet regularly on a monthly basis, either online or in person. As the initiating country for this SoG Governance Committee, in-person meetings will be mostly located in Indonesia. The traveling costs and lodging will be provided by the Indonesian government. If you agree, we could start the first activity in July 2022 so that we will have 4 months before the G20 Summit. We plan to have this Governance Committee conduct its work continuously for 12 months starting in July 2022 and review its function and organization in June 2023.
