Mission/SoG Committee

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 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.

Activities

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.
