Dear all, This public comment is intended to help guide the next stage of the Open Data Initiative and to provide a detailed insight for potential data consumers and other interested community members. Close Date: 27 Jul 2018 23:59 UTC Purpose: ICANN seeks community views on the list of datasets that ICANN has available to publish and the metadata that ICANN intends to publish along with each dataset. The comments will be used to determine the priorities for publication. Current Status: The Open Data Initiative is almost ready to start publishing datasets. A Data Asset Inventory has been created, which provides an initial list of the datasets that are potential candidates for publication, and associated metadata standards have been defined. The RFP to choose an open data platform is almost complete and an announcement will be made by ICANN62 in Panama City. Next Steps: The feedback will be used to help determine the priorities for publishing datasets on the upcoming ICANN open data platform and amending any elements of the publication plan to address community feedback.
