We at the Esya Centre are grateful for the opportunity given to us by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to respond to the Committee of Expert’s Report on Non-Personal Data Governance Framework (Report). We appreciate that the Committee has attempted to set out a broad framework that seeks to regulate several facets of the use of Non-Personal Data (NPD) while identifying possible areas of concern. In our suggestions, we engage with the Committee’s key recommendations and identify areas which require greater clarity. We recommend actions that assist in creating effective regulation geared towards achieving defined goals and outcomes. Part I contains the summary of recommendations, and Part II contains detailed analysis of the Report. We have structured our responses into 4 sections on Competition and Innovation, Ownership and Access, Privacy and Definitions, and the Regulatory Framework. Within each section, we analyse the key recommendations made by the Committee and propose alternatives. We have sought to engage with the Committee’s recommendations on a first-principles basis and highlight areas which require greater conceptual clarity.
