[NCUC-DISCUSS] ICANN Information Transparency Initiative

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi Michael

I agree it's good to see something moving forward.

However, there's a lot of jargon around transparency and open data
which do not always translate into a collaborative process which takes
into account these ideas themselves.
There has been a lot o investment in announcements and information
displays but where are the datasets? Is there an open contracting
process involved for ICANN partners working in this initiative?
How accountable this whole process is?

If the aim is to find information in ICANN better, once more, which
information is this process dealing with? The information may be
public but is it free and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Inter-operable
and Re-usable)?

So even before, I guess, providing inputs, it's easy to see we have
more questions and answers.

It's fine to say transparency is being looked for but which are the
steps there to achieve it?

Best,

Renata
