Hello everyone!
I would like to point you to a publication[1] by Wikimedia Deutschland that
may be of interest in other contexts, although it was designed for the
German-speaking context:
In the last few months, the Policy and Public Sector team at WMDE has been
working on sharpening up the concept of a digital policy that is oriented
towards the common good, and on using specific digital policy projects of
the current federal government to define what such common good-oriented
projects could look like.
To do this, we included perspectives from administrations, associations,
science, politics and industry about the term common good and applied the
requirements that we synthesized to three current digital policy projects
of the Federal Republic. In addition, we also made sure that we got a 180°
WMDE perspective on the term: Where and how does the work of wiki projects
and WMDE contribute to the common good?
The result is a practice-oriented policy paper, "Eight requirements. Making
digital policy serve the public interest", that formulates* 8 concrete
requirements for public good-oriented digital policy*. The target audiences
are political actors and people in administrations in Germany. At this
year's conference re:publica in Berlin we have already published a summary,
last week the long version was published. The summary of the paper is
available in German[2] and French[3], the long version in German[4] and
English[5].
In our view, digital policy projects that serve the long-term well-being of
the community must be measured against concrete requirements: Transparency
and effective participation are needed. Fundamental rights must be
protected and damage to the general public prevented. Digital policy
should mitigate
inequality, its outcomes must be open and accessible, and it must be
collaboratively
managed and innovated. The paper was sent to policymakers in the Bundestag
and ministries as well as selected stakeholders. In the coming months,
various expert meetings will follow.
We are happy to receive any feedback or questions!
Best regards,
Lilli & team politics and public sector
