Hosted by the Action Coalition for Meaningful Transparency (ACT) and the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), this open, collaborative workshop invites 360/Open Summit (360/OS) attendees and particularly Digital Sherlocks to share their views on digital tech transparency with the expert community. Participants’ insights will help inform the approaches governments, industry and global coalitions take as they continue to develop new transparency requirements. This session will be a candid, in-person-only discussion facilitated by experts who work with and represent international coalitions that provide advice to governments and tech companies on these issues and is being run in conjunction with a virtual community lab session at RightsCon on Thursday, June 9. The ideas that participants generate at both events will be included in a “what we heard” report that will be shared with registered participants and governments, civil society leaders and tech companies.

Participants will be asked to share their views on three key questions:

  • What should be the aim of transparency reporting?
  • What types of reporting would you like to see and on what subjects?
  • If you had to prioritize which types of information should be included in transparency reporting, what would top your list?

Note: To attend this session, you will need to be registered with the 360/OS. This summit brings together the global community focused on disinformation, open-source research, regulatory approaches for accountable technology, and solutions to the most urgent digital challenges facing human rights globally and democracies around the world. The theme of this year’s 360/OS is Contested Realities, Connected Futures, focusing on the imperative for democratic societies to recommit to human rights-informed collective action as an antidote to anti-democratic trends.
