There are different efforts + projects. As a consequence, there are also different local perspectives.
PDEC’s desire is not to build any concrete things (trust frameworks, technology, etc), but:
to coordinate existing efforts, and help finding each other
to follow, track and educate about existing efforts and different views
to facilitate dialogue between the actors
to support new startups/initiatives to realize the vision
to bring together sociologists, technologists, lawyers, etc. working on personal data
to include people who are new to the circle but doing related work
Some concrete topics during the session:
multi-jurisdiction issues
multi-disciplinary groups with interdisciplinary focus
defining the new business layer (not just legal layer)
common elements of a trust framework
technologists (want to push things forward?) + lawyers (want to push things back?) need to work together!
how do we represent individuals?
legal practice becomes law
role of regulation (managing risk)
look at existing regulator models for telecom + postal interop
what is institutionally required for certain services + systems
what can individuals do? where are groups + capital required and where are they not required?
relationsip of IdPs to each other and to nation-states who set policies
Kaliya presented the “Personal Data Ecosystem Landscape” diagram explaining the conceptual relationships between different parties in the Personal Data Ecosystem.
This year I’ve been scrambling between sessions that start and end with no break in between. Many of the videos are missing the first few minutes; the whole of the sessions are here. I’ll be uploading these over the next couple of days as my net access is severely constrained. One might reasonably think that the Computer History Museum–in the heart of Silicon Valley–would have good wireless connectivity, but I’ve seen too many jokes about their connecting a 300 baud modem to the wireless router. After all, it is history.
