• How to prevent this detrimental polarization and bridge sectoral siloed processes

• Ways to ensure that existing and future national and international data governance frameworks are effective in promoting trust

• Why data experts need to be at the table of global and national data policy and governance debates in order to support better and more informed decision-making and move the policy debate on data forward
