[Public Comments]: Draft Comment on Open Data Initiative Datasets and Metadata

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Sam,

I have made some rather substantial (proposed) edits to this statement now. In response to your comment, I have cited recommendation 10.5 of the Accountability and Transparency Review 2, and called for ICANN to provide non-commercial stakeholders with the resources required in order to interrogate and analyse this data.

The Policy Committee is looking over this comment now (hence my last minute edits), but if there are any additional comments/suggestions that anyone has, we would still be able to consider them if they are added to the document today:

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline

From a broader perspective, it is good that ICANN has plans to publish more data - I can see a lot of potential for qualitative and quantitative research here in various fields of social sciences!
