Kick-off: invitation for the public (Meg)

Visual identity (30’)

CPDP paper (remaining time and energies). Main concerns I would like to discuss: research design, empirical justification, casing, comparative? Also: there is a lot of emphasis on standards, but no standard analysis to speak of. Structure (findings and discussion as separate section). Need to discuss —> what to do next (where to publish)

                  •               Introduction of the live illustrator (mariette) and how to engage with the visuals(thinking surface, not a record; mariette is not producing “minutes”, but
capturing tensions, concepts, metaphors, and disagreements)

Format: 2 sprints (20’ each, 5 speakers each, 4’ per speaker) of short provocative presentations.

Guiding questions (no need to answer them all):
                  •               Where do you see the deepest unresolved tension in how data infrastructures are used to govern today?
                  •               Where do current debates fall short?
                  •               Which actors, infrastructures, or norms are most under-examined?
Discussion follows
Mariette to begins mapping key tensions, concerns, actors, and framings.
