 Hi Elsa,  
  Just a small clarification, the other changes were made in "suggestion mode." However they were accepted by the Policy Committee Chair already (perhaps before you saw them?), as they also have editing privileges for the document.   
  The deadline for the submission of this comment to ICANN org is 23:59 UTC tonight, so it is already with the Policy Committee for review. We have been looking over the document for a few days now and discussing, hence why some edits were already accepted.   
  Best wishes,

  Hey Ayden,   
  Thanks! I accepted some of the suggestions earlier today! What I was referring to was the added parts to the doc which I think are extremely important to keep an eye out for. Especially the list of extra data that we need and cannot find in the inventory for instance. It would have been good for members to check them out (there’s a small discussion happening on there, if we should add all the items currently in the list or not). And in the history, changes can be found most times but the person who made the changes would almost always be "anonymous". Which would make it hard to ask for fast clarification. That’s what I was referring to :)  
  But thanks for offering to help! It’s appreciated.  
  Best,

 Hi Elsa,  
  All of the changes that I made to the document were in ‘suggestion mode’, but someone else with editing privileges has already accepted some of them. (I have received notifications from Google that this has happened.) In the history tab, however, you can turn them back on to see what changes have been made to the document and which have been accepted by other editors. Please let me know off-list if you’d like me to show you how to see these edits.  
  Best wishes,

  Hi Ayden,  
  Reviewing the comment and suggestions as we speak. Many of the changes were not mapped. Could we for future comments' reference, map our changes in order for us to make sure we have a good progress report on the google  doc? It would be best I think.  
  Thank you for your efforts, and thank you all for all the comments and engagement. We'll be sending this to the Policy Committee for their review by the end of this working day.  
  Best,

  Hi Raoul,  
  I will forward your message to the Policy Committee to review.  
  My initial reaction is, I’m not sure why we would need to make the case for the benefits of open data, when ICANN has already committed to making it available?  
  Best wishes, Ayden

  Sorry for being late in returning to this, but could we add a sentence or just a small list on why opening data is commendable?   

Open data offers benefits in many areas and ICANN could gain from: 

   - Transparency and democratic control 
   - Participation 
   - Self-empowerment 
   - Improved or new private products and services 
   - Innovation 
   - Improved efficiency of services 
   - Improved effectiveness of services 
   - Impact measurement of policies 
   - New knowledge from combined data sources and patterns in large data  volumes

 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:

  Colleagues, 

  While I fully endorse as much open data access for ICANN as is possible,  without compromising personal privacy, I am sobered by the  general view that in Open Government Data most of the benefits go to the deep  pocketed stakeholders (corporate entities) that have the  financial resources to mine the data. 

  Giving civil society access, without it having research  resources, leaves it dependent on those few academics who will mine the data in the public interest, or when it just occasionally  catches data outliers that raise concerns.

  Hi Elsa, hi all, 

  Thank you and the team for taking the time for drafting the comment. I find that the points raised in the comment are indeed relevant!  >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! 

  Best,
