We are excited to announce that another core AISP resource is being updated for release in November. Finding a Way Forward: How to Create a Strong Legal Framework for Data Integration was originally published in 2022 to provide practical legal guidance for cross-sector data collaboration. Since then, both the legal landscape and the needs of the field have continued to evolve. Version 2.0 reflects those changes, incorporating new resources, expanded analysis, and lessons learned from ongoing conversations with legal, policy, and data practitioners across the country. We hope this resource will support you and your partners as you work to “find a way forward” to share and integrate data.

We invite you to join us on November 12th at 12 pm ET for a special network call and virtual report release. This is an open invitation, so please feel free to pass the registration link along to anyone who might be interested, especially legal counsel and members of your privacy and security teams.

On October 30th, AISP hosted a Network Call on the impact brief. We shared key findings and heard from a few special guests who provided color commentary on some of the diverse impact examples highlighted in the brief. There was also a Q&A and a discussion about how we as a field might better measure and communicate IDS impact in the future.
