Hi all,

It is our pleasure to share with you the draft public comment on the Open
Data Initiative (ODI) which Yazid, Antonella, Shahul, Akinremi and myself
worked on over the past week, with the help of Rafik!

Comments on the ODI Datasets and Metadata
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/odi-datasets-metadata-2018-06-11-en>
opened in June this year, where ICANN asked the community for advice as to
which datasets in their shared inventory should be published first. The
publishing chronology would be based on the comments ICANN receives, and
the aim of sharing the data according to what the CEO's Blog post
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann-org-s-open-data-strategy> mentioned,
would be to increase evidence-based policy development.

The dataset inventory includes 232 elements on all sorts of topics, SGs and
Cs. We went through them as carefully as we could on this spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-8L98u7lz73g6a04Hhp673CqEj_4e1ltYd0f43Qs2wQ/edit?usp=sharing>
which you could also take a look at, and our conclusions were drafted in this
google doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZmWcncubvRV572mZyU0pRKTkgD8K7sT4qPXcn01lk0U/edit?usp=sharing>.
At this point, we need your input keeping in mind NCSG's priorities. We
thank everyone who contributed, and any member who will contribute to make
this comment more fit to submit. Note that the closing date is in a week's
time, so the sooner the contributions, the better for us all! :)

*Our suggestion for most efficiency would be for you to read the google doc
first, check the spreadsheet, then add any comments or suggestions to the
comment accordingly.*

Please do let us know if there is anything that needs further elaboration,
and happy reading!

Best,

​Elsa​
