Briefing Statement: Privacy Implications of OPEN Data

Representatives from the Joint Committee on Cybersecurity and Information Technology asked you to provide a briefing for your state legislature as part of their “Cyber Scholars Day.”

The committee members are the elected representatives of your state’s government. Since this is a formal setting, you must write the briefing statement then deliver word-for-word from the prepared statement.

Since you are a “scholar” it would be more appropriate for you to stick to the facts and, if you need an opinion, paraphrase from or quote authorities in the field.

You can include your own personal-opinion, but limit your opinions.

The topic of your briefing is: Potential Privacy Issues Arising from OPEN Data

Initiatives for Federal and State Governments. In your briefing statement you must:

Identify and discuss 3 or more specific types of OPEN Data

Identify and discuss 3 or more privacy issues which could arise from the collection and distribution of OPEN data

Recommend at least 3 safeguards or counter measures which the legislators should consider requiring of state agencies when engaging in OPEN data initiatives.

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your briefing statement.
