Personal Data Ecosystem Charter

Name

Personal Data Ecosystem Collaborative Consortium

Purpose

To get this emerging personal data ecosystem to work for all, there are many interests that need to be brought forward, and different interests that need to be balanced. These include individuals, businesses, governments, advocacy groups, standards bodies, developers, personal data store service providers, government regulators, media, and others.

The purpose of The Personal Data Ecosystem Collaborative Consortium (PDECC) is to support all these interests being brought forward and to define the emergent market models, convergence around technical standards for personal data services and the policies that support them.

Principles

IC Principles:

1. Self-Organization. Enable any working group to self-organize at any time, on any scale, in any form, around any activity consistent with the Purpose and Principles.
2. Transparency. Fully and transparently disclose the Purpose and Principles of each working group, any requirement of participation, and any license or restriction of usage of its work product.
3. Inclusion. Conduct deliberations and make decisions by bodies and methods that reasonably represent all relevant and affected parties.
4. Empowerment. Vest authority, perform functions, and use resources in the smallest or most local part that includes all relevant and affected parties.
5. Collaboration. Resolve conflict without resort to economic, legal, or other duress.
6. Openness. Conduct, publish, and archive communications in a manner that facilitates open and trusted interactions within and across all working groups and the public Internet.
7. Dogfooding. When feasible and appropriate, employ the work product of Identity Commons working groups to facilitate the operation and interaction of Identity Commons itself.
