Some of the goals for the framework discussed during this workshop are to:

  • Be “compatible, seamless, and relentlessly interoperable” with existing compliance guidelines and rulesets
  • Focus on the impact of the data collected- both allowed and not allowed
  • Talk to users about usability of interfaces
  • Develop a framework that can be used as a communication tool help with conversations at all levels
  • Be part of broader risk strategy
