1 Presenting Mongoose A New Approach to Traffic Capture (patent pending) presented by Ron McLeod and Ashraf Abu Sharekh January 2013
2 Outline Genesis - why we built it, where and when did the idea begin Issues requirements What we built and how it works (mostly) Recent and current challenges Our biggest challenges and ongoing Work
3 Genesis - Why? Network administrators require situational awareness to detect: Scanning, Intrusion, Exfiltration, Policy Violations and System Performance Issues Most organizations that we have encountered in our security practice are not monitoring or logging their network activity beyond bandwidth usage. The exceptions in our experience being large government entities and Universities with significant IT staff. So we started asking Why not? More on this later.
4 Genesis - When It all came together during a Walk in the Desert and the statement We would like to monitor the activity of the network from outside the network. And (maybe) without the users knowing that it is happening. For security reasons I can t say what desert or who made the statement or who I was walking with. There were other pre-existing sparks but this was a watershed moment.
5 Issues - Privacy Privacy was of significant importance. Network owners did not want external monitors to know or leak information about network structure. IP addresses may be interpreted as personal private information in some jurisdictions. External monitors must not be able to tie traffic to a machine or a user. Only internal Network admins should be able to do this. Users (and administrators) are nervous about payload capture, until there is a problem. Communication to and from the network must be secure. Taken together these issues meant that we would have to be able to modify captured traffic.
6 Issues - Network Architecture Independence Must work regardless of physical layer components (wireless, wireline) Must not require knowledge of sub-netting and NAT ting within the network. Must not rely on the presence of firewalls or services such as active directory. Must be able to continue to monitor and control a device that moves throughout the network and beyond. Must not be blinded by the use of VPN s
7 Issues - Visibility Must not be noticeable to the end user through: performance (CPU, Memory, bandwidth) or as a running application.
8 Issues - Speed to Deployment To understand this issue, we must first describe our typical incident response experience. An organization suspects a data breach or is performing an audit. Q & A with the network administrator: Can you draw me a diagram of your network structure so I can decide where to put the taps? No. I didn t build it. Can you tell me which of your routers are capable of producing flow or which switches have port mirroring? What s flow? When do you need this? Today. Alternatively : in covert deployment speed may be of the essence.
9 Issues - Control Must be capable of remote interdiction and modification. if a machine is doing a bad thing I need to be able to stop it immediately regardless of my network infrastructure, while maintaining the operating state for forensic analysis. Interdiction should not obviously be an interdiction unless I want it to be. i.e. if someone is stealing data from a machine I need to stop the theft but I don t want them to run away before the authorities get there.
10 Simple Right?
11 Two Years later. Mongoose is a host based traffic collection system that: - installs in a few minutes as a downloadable kernel patch and service. - captures inbound and outbound traffic at the host. - Builds a proprietary representation of each packet and places it in a dump file. - dump files containing (initially) 20,000 packets (1.5 meg) are shipped approximately every 2 minutes to a cloud server farm via a secure SSL connection. At the server farm: - Dump files are processed to produce a proprietary flow representation and stored in a client database. - Alert and classification systems constantly scan the flow data (ongoing development) Through a web interface: - Network administrators can log in from anywhere and get a near real time picture of their network activity. Through a software Manager Console: - Network Administrators can exercise remote control over certain aspects of the client machine.
12 Manager Functionality (the parts we can talk about) Remotely: retrieve machine information (cpu, memory, processor, operating system etc) for diagnostics or inventory. start and stop network access. adjust size of payload capture up and down in real time by any number of bytes to full payload. (Hybrid Capture) adjust the number of packets per dump file. start and stop various components in the Mongoose system. Other functionality under development since we are in the kernel you can let your imagination go wild.
13 Mongoose Architecture Manager Client Command & Control Monitor Command & Control Packet Capture Monitor Anonymization Transfer Web Applications Registration Report Generation & Visualization Notifications & Alerts Mobile Device Support External Services Collection Configuration Notifications & Alerts DATA Alerts Internal Services Performance Analyses Report Generation Flow Detection Anomaly Detection Notifications & Alerts Dissemination Notifications & Alerts Generation Flow Registration & Configuration
14 Beta Testing and Experimentation Approximately eight months of Beta testing in up to five live production sites operating under confidentiality agreements (geographically distributed) client machines per site reporting to a single collection and processing site. Real implementations now have limited shared access to a single collection server and multiple processing nodes, one per customer.
15 Beta Testing and Experimentation Excluded traffic initially captured everything % of all traffic was local broadcast and link layer traffic for address resolution, name services etc. much of this was never meant to exit the local link, but we sent data on all of it out of the edge router.and quickly impacted the bandwidth. We currently exclude much of this traffic but may give the network admin the ability to sample it for brief periods.
16 Beta Testing and Experimentation Environment Testing and Development Environment Multiple Servers (VM s) located in both Quebec and Alberta. All beta clients located in Nova Scotia. Commercial environment Multiple Servers (VM s) located in Nova Scotia.
17 Current and Recent Challenges Choosing a platform Windows 7 family (Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Server 2008 and so on..) Will not work with XP, server 2003 etc.. Android development in the near future
18 Current and Recent Challenges first challenge: capture and modify traffic. We do it in the kernel. We don t use pcap. The rest is secret sauce. second challenge: process and ship the packets in a way that does not affect computer performance and is not easily visible to the user. processing dump file on the client causes a cpu spike of < 1 sec/file. Shipping files causes a much smaller cpu spike that does not exceed the normal operating range of other running applications. i.e. if CPU is operating at 30% 50% then shipping spike is within this range. Experiments involved changing the processing algorithm, dump file size and shipping frequency until an acceptable performance level was achieved. Dump file size is configurable through the Manager
19 Current and Recent Challenges Secure communication Each Mongoose client contains a unique certificate for use in SSL communication with the collection servers.
20 Current and Recent Challenges Constructing Flows Originally less than 100 lines of C code. 20,000 packet representations are processed in less than 1 sec. Experiments with map/reduce and Hadoop clusters have not yet proved beneficial over our current implementation given the current number of clients (dump files) collected This is due largely to the overhead associated with the Hadoop approach.
21 Current and Recent Challenges Some Hadoop Results Hadoop with one name node and two data nodes vs existing processing. Existing: < 1 sec per dump file Files Hadoop processing time in secs/file Using six data nodes we processed 750 dump files at a rate of 0.11 secs/file (best result).
22 Current and Recent Challenges Alerts Currently four alert categories blacklist of external ips sensitive ports exception reporting on specific machines behavioral classification (neural classifiers) Near real time Alert conditions remains our biggest challenge. currently experimenting with algorithmic and system modifications to improve alert performance.
23 Current and Recent Challenges Behavioral Alert Classification Interesting results from neural classifiers for user/machine pairing training with 72 hours of real flow data from the population of a beta client using flow data statistics similar to that described in my presentation at FloCon multilayer feed forward network with back propagation of error. neural network maintains 100% discrimination accuracy for a small sample set of (3) machines for one month without re-training. Not tested beyond this point. challenges include the incorporation of the neural classifier into the alert processor and scaling of test population. One is limiting the other. Would like to have the ability to dynamically expand and contract the number of machines we are classifying to test the scalability. Interesting areas of experimentation and development User signatures - isolate an individual based on network traffic. For use in insider masquerade attacks and for covert surveillance. Device signatures isolate a device based on traffic signature. For use in authentication and surveillance. Application signatures classify an application.
24 Some Unresolved Questions for our Beta Clients How long do you want to maintain your flow database? 30 days? How long do you need full payload capture to be running? 1 minute per sample?
25 Our biggest challenges and ongoing work performance on the client. secure remote communication. server infrastructure that is sustainable in the business model. provisioning and decommissioning customers and clients. Near real time alerts and classification.

Mother nature really turned it on at Noosa today, you wouldn't have guessed that we had experienced grey skies and Autumn showers for the past week. Desperate for some vitamin D, we donned our cozzies, grabbed our beach towels and joined the rest of Noosa at Main Beach. With such a gorgeous day to admire I couldn't decide where to point my iPhone/camera first, so Master T decided it was about time I started using the panoramic setting. With the result being the image above, I had know idea it was quite so simple to do. Thank you Master T! Popular surfing spot First Point was producing some solid waves and we spotted many young locals taking advantage of their last day of freedom before they return to school tomorrow.
Admiring the creation Miss R was building in the sand I noticed there were little bodies dotted along the water line scuttling around on the sand building their very own mini break walls and sandcastles. We even had a game of beach cricket pop up along the tide mark. Such a blissful sight!
Now this is what I call 'Weekend Bliss' and is exactly what we need to launch us into the week ahead. Did you manage to find any 'Bliss' this weekend? I hope so.

CUBOT: The rising China's foreign trade smartphone brand
by Aug 16, 2017 1:59 pm0
As early as 2016 the mobile phone market was already highly competitive and dealers enter the competition through the vertical integration. The profit margins are thin industry-wide while market share is further curved up. The product competition has become consumers' pursuit of quality and brand recognition. All slightly famous Chinese brands in the overseas market have joined the configuration upgrade war, except for Cubot that was low-key compared to them and didn't look like a strong competitor.
Although there was not much advertising, the company worked excellent in 2016. In the MWC in Feb 2016, Cheetah mobile launched a joint customized version Cubot Cheetah that drew attention throughout the show and dozens of the world's top technology sites including Digitaltrends, Gsmarena, Venturebeat, Cnet, etc. reported Cubot products and the Cheetah model appeared out of stock at sometime. In the second half of the year, its upgraded version of Cheetah 2 also did excellent in the market.
In addition, the most popular Cubot Rainbow and Note S not only did well in Europe and Russia, but on some African regions too. Their Classic configuration and unique design were impressive, each model sold over 100K. Cubot slows down in the next few months because of developing their subsidiary brand Hafury.
In the first half of 2017, Cubot started with a new attitude. Until July 2017, Cubot has released a smartband (Cubot S1) and 3 smartphones: Cubot Rainbow 2, Cubot R9, and Cubot Magic, although the market is still in fermentation.
Cubot S1 is the third-generation product of Cubot smartband Series Its intelligence, accuracy of heart rate detection, functional diversity is as good as foreign famous brands like FITBIT, POLAR, etc. It is an example of the sportbands which combine fashion and professional specs.
Cubot Magic is the latest model released and also the most important product in first half of the year, although it still in early stage. The first batch of test prototypes received a lot of praises from professional, calling it a unique device with unique and promising design. During the next 6 months, 7 new products will hit the market: a variety of phones, smart headphones, and smartwatches.
In mid-August, Note Plus camera phone is going to be released. It is the company's first 16MP rear/front came for a. Except the beauty features on the front camera, it also will have a self-timer function for the users who likes to take pictures by themselves. Also, the FHD display will give users a perfect visual experience, it is the most prominent model in the second half of the year.
Starting from September, except the conventional smartphones, there will be large cell phones, smart headphones, smartwatches that will come out one after another. Cubot H3 is an upgraded version of the Cubot batteryphone series with 6000mAh large battery and rear dual-camera configuration.
Smart headphones and smartwatches are still confidential for now but the X18 Plus 4GB/64GB large memory phone is revealed having a metal slim body, 4 LED flash and is the most worth looking flagship model from the company this year. The configuration and performance will bring surprises.

Derangements in primitive permutation groups and applications
Date: 3/15/2016
Time: 3:30PM-5:00PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Hung P. Tong-Viet
Abstract: A derangement (or fixed-point-free permutation) is a permutation with no
fixed points. One of the oldest theorems in probability, the Montmort
limit theorem, says that the proportion of derangements in finite
symmetric groups Sn tends to e−1 when n tends to infinity. A classical
theorem of Jordan implies that every finite transitive permutation group
of degree greater than 1 contains derangements. This result has many
applications in number theory, topology, game theory, combinatorics, and
repre- sentation theory. There are several interesting questions on the
order and the number of derangements that have attracted much attention
in recent years. In this talk, I will discuss some of these questions
and I will report on recent results on finite primitive permutation
groups with some restriction on derangements (joint with T.C. Burness)
and some application to modular representation theory (joint with M.L.

RUME Colloquium
Opportunity to learn from lectures in advanced mathematics
Date: 3/11/2016
Time: 3:30PM-4:30PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Tim Fukawa-Connelly
Abstract: In this report, we synthesize studies that we have conducted on how students interpret mathematics lectures. We present a case study of a lecture in which students in an advanced mathematics lecture did not comprehend the points that their professor intended to convey. We present three accounts for this: students' note-taking strategies, their beliefs about proof, and their understanding of the professor's colloquial mathematics. Finally, we explore via a larger-scale study, lecturing practices and student-note-taking behaviors. We refute claims that mathematicians do not present intuitive or conceptual explanations, and demonstrate that students are unlikely to take meaning away from these more informal aspects of lecture.

One Row, One Column,
One Symbol
Date: 3/10/2016
Time: 3:45PM-4:45PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Abstract: Let n be a positive integer and and r,c,s each be integers in {1,2,...,n}. A partial latin square P satisfies the RCS property if for every ordered triple (x,y,z) belonging to P, either x=r, y=c, or z=s. Partial latin squares of this type were introduced by Casselgren and Haggkvist in a 2013 paper, in which they show that some infinite families of partial latin squares with the RCS property are completable. In this talk, we classify when any partial latin square with the RCS property is completable. This is joint work with Jaromy Kuhl of the University of West Florida.

Kinetic Modeling of
Coarsening in Polycrystals
Date: 3/4/2016
Time: 1:30PM-2:30PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Abstract: When microstructure of polycrystalline materials undergoes coarsening driven by the elimination of energetically unfavorable crystals, a sequence of network transformations, including continuous expansion and instantaneous topological transitions, takes place. This talk will be focused on recent advances related to the mathematical modeling of this process. Two types of approaches will be discussed, one aimed at simulating the evolution of individual crystals in a 2-dimensional system via a vertex model focused on triple junction dynamics, and one providing a kinetic Boltzmann-type description for the evolution of probability density functions. Predictions based on the new kinetic mesoscale model will be discussed and contrasted with those obtained by large-scale simulations for several classes of interfacial energies.

On the extremal values of the
eccentric distance sum of trees
Date: 2/22/2016
Time: 3:30PM-5:00PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Lianying Miao
Abstract:Let G = (V,E) be a simple connected graph. The eccentricity ε(v) of a vertex v is the maximum distance from v to any other vertex. The eccentric distance sum of G is defined as ξd(G) = Pv∈V ε(v)D(v), where D(v) = Pu∈V d(u,v) is the sum of all distance from the vertex v.
In this paper, we continue to study the eccentric distance sum of trees. The trees of order n with domination number at most dn
3e are characterized.

Entropy and the additive combinatorics of probability densities
on locally compact abelian groups
Date: 1/27/2016
Time: 3:30PM-4:50PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Mokshay Madiman
Abstract: Additive number theory contains a number of so-called
"sumset inequalities" that relate the cardinalities of various finite
subsets of an abelian group G, for instance, the sumset A+A and the
difference set A-A of a finite subset A of G. It also contains
"inverse" results such as Freiman's theorem, which asserts that sets A
such that A+A is relatively small must have some "additive structure".
Motivated by considerations coming from multiple directions including
probability theory, combinatorics, information theory, and convex
geometry, we explore probabilistic analogues of such results in the
general setting of locally compact abelian groups.
For instance, we show that for independent, identically distributed random variables X
and X' whose distribution has a density with respect to Haar measure
on a locally compact abelian group G, the entropies of X+X' and X-X'
strongly constrain each other. We will also discuss stronger
statements that can be made for specific groups of interest, such as
R^n, the integers, and finite cyclic groups.
Based on (multiple) joint works with Ioannis Kontoyiannis (Athens Univ. of Economics),
Jiange Li (Univ. of Delaware), Liyao Wang (Yale Univ.), and Jaeoh Woo
(Univ. of Texas, Austin).

Resolvable group divisible designs and (k,r)-colorings of complete graphs
Date: 10/29/2015
Time: 4:30PM-5:30PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Hao Shen
Abstract: Let k and r be given positive integers, a
(k,r)-coloring of a complete graph K is a coloring of the edges of K with r colors such that all monochromatic connected subgraphs have at most k vertices. The Ramsey number f(k,r) is defined to be the smallest u such that the complete graph with u vertices does not admit a (k,r)-coloring.
A group divisible design is called resolvable if all the blocks can be partitioned into parallel classes. In this talk, we will introduce the known results on the existence of resolvable group divisible designs and their applications in the study of (k,r)-colorings of complete graphs.

Steady states of polynomial ODEs arising in biology with application
to multisite phosphorylation
Date: 10/1/2015
Time: 3:30PM-4:30PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Carsten Conradi
Abstract:Polynomial Ordinary Differential Equations are an important tool in many areas of quantitative biology. Due to high measurement uncertainty, few experimental repetitions and a limited number of measurable components, parameters are subject to high uncertainty and can vary in large intervals. One therefore effectively has to study families of parametrized polynomial ODEs. In this talk a class of ODEs is discussed, where the steady states can be parametrized by solutions of parameter independent linear inequality systems. To this class belong, for example, multisite phosphorylation systems. For a special instance of this subclass, one can formulate parameter conditions that guarantee the existence of three steady states.

Sustained oscillations in phosphorylation cascades
Date: 9/29/2015
Time: 3:30PM-4:30PM
Place: 315 Armstrong Hall
Alan Rendall
Abstract:Signalling networks are sets of chemical reactions used to transmit information
in living cells. One pattern frequently encountered in this context is that of a
phosphorylation cascade, where phosphate groups are added to proteins in
successive stages. In this talk I report on work with Juliette Hell on the existence
of periodic solutions in systems of ODE modelling a key example of
a cascade of this type, the MAP kinase cascade. The mathematical tools used
for this are bifurcation theory and geometric singular perturbation theory.
I will also describe the relation of these results to the idea that oscillations
are often related to negative feedback loops, where the feedback may arise
in an implicit way due to sequestration effects.

Defining and Measuring Conceptual Knowledge of Mathematics
Date: 9/28/2015
Time: 3:30PM-4:30PM
Place: 121 Armstrong Hall
Martha Alibali
Abstract:Both researchers and educators recognize the importance of conceptual knowledge in mathematics. However, it has proven difficult to identify and measure conceptual knowledge in many mathematical domains. This talk provides an overview of research on conceptual knowledge in the literature on mathematical thinking. I discuss (1) how conceptual knowledge is defined in the mathematical thinking literature, broadly speaking, and (2) how conceptual knowledge is defined, operationalized, and measured in three specific mathematical domains: equivalence, cardinality, and inversion. This review uncovers several shortcomings in this body of literature, most notably a lack of consistency in definitions of conceptual knowledge and a lack of alignment between definitions and measures. To address these issues, I propose a general framework that divides conceptual knowledge into two facets: knowledge of general principles and knowledge of the principles underlying procedures.

Have you heard of a trend called 'outsourcing?'
It's a task that you can't or don't want to perform that you pay someone else to do. Goals and parameters are discussed, money is exchanged or bartering takes place, and stuff gets done.
Cool, hey?
Actually, if you think about it, outsourcing has been a part of our society for a long time.
Think of a royal family back in Medieval times. Royal castle life outsourced many aspects of their day-to-day: tutoring for the royal children, a chef for food prep and many household staff for tasks such as laundry, emptying chamberpots, gardening, caring for the horses, feeding the livestock, cutting firewood, filling oil lamps, etc.
Sounds kinda dull to me.
Now think of a young Wild West in the early 1800's. Settlers and pioneers were eager to start their new lives in a new land of promise. Towns were being built, railways were being planned, whispers of gold rushes happening across the country filled the ears and captured the imaginations of adventurers, dare-devils, and criminals alike. What did outsourcing look like back in the Wild West? A fraction of it was heavily focused on construction, infrastructure, and agriculture. I imagine the local forms of outsourcing were reliant on bartering. Neighbours helping neighbours, and farmers helping farmers, in exchange for raw food sources, livestock, or an exchange of manual labour during barn construction.
That sounds a little more exciting to me.
Now think of outsourcing in the modern day. By golly, what don't North Americans outsource? We frequent coffee shops, improve our fitness levels with personal trainers, hire bookkeepers to deal with those nasty little papers called receipts, and many people rely on a school system to educate their children. Plumbers, copywriters, accountants, sales funnel consultants, dentists, virtual administrative specialists, mechanics, web designers, architects, transcriptionists, farmers – all different forms of outsourcing.
Now that's cool.
My current forms of outsourcing are housekeeping and babysitting. I recently moved to a large property in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Along with mowing the large front and back yard, I'm responsible for maintenance in the garden (watering, weeding, and harvesting), occasional care of the chickens (feeding, watering, egg collection, and herding them back home when they escape), pool cleaning (skimming, pump cleaning and Ph balancing), caring for the handful of fruit trees and berry bushes, and also caring for the house itself.
Although I love this life and the ability to live out a personal dream of moving towards self-sustainability, it's a lot of dang work. Combine property maintenance with caring full-time for my toddler and trying to run a business and guess what I have? A severe lack of time in my day!
I tried to juggle it myself for a few weeks. I thought I could handle it. I thought it might even be just a wee bit easy. Ha. Guess what happened? I didn't do so well. In fact, I sucked. I started to fall behind on my 'chores' (and as a side note, I love telling myself that I have chores to do each day….it feels so modernly rural!), I started sleeping less, was quick to become impatient with my toddler, and was eating more junk food to "save time."
Now that's not cool.
I finally got real with myself. I let that nagging little voice in the back of my head that I usually shush come to the forefront and scream at me "You need help!" Thankfully, I listened (I don't always do that). I hired a housekeeper and the same week, my neighbours introduced me to a teen who's looking for babysitting work before she goes back to school in September.
It's only been two weeks since this support has been in my life. Guess what's happened in that time? I feel like a weight has been lifted, not just from my shoulders, but from my entire body. I'm already sleeping better and starting to once again actually feel refreshed when I wake up in the mornings.
Although the housekeeping is only a few hours a week, I've been able to nearly double my productivity with that same amount of time already!
Although the childcare is only 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, I can already see how I'll be able to at least double my productivity with that same amount of time!
Now that's cool x2.
I've actually broken my time down into losses without the support and gains with the support, which I'll be sharing in a future post.
On a related note, I haven't blogged since late 2016. That's way too long of a period to have not blogged for. Like, an embarrassing long amount of time. I like writing, for the most part, however, I never make it a priority. One of tasks I've been able to do this week with my increase in productive time is write this post you're reading now.
Cool, hey?
My productivity gains have already encouraged and inspired me to accomplish even more – this is how I know these two forms of outsourcing are giant leaps in the right direction. They are personal in nature but they're supporting my business, my health, and my family.
I couldn't ask for any more of a gold rush than that.

Hi, Unfortunately I have had this problem on at least a couple other occasions whereby my forms are not emailed to me. To rectify this situation in the past, I whitelisted several different JotForm IPs through my email provider's settings. Jotform reps also reset my account to enable emails to transfer again. This seemed to do the trick for a while but I am now experiencing the same problems again and I haven't been able to receive any forms for a number of days. Please help. Thanks, HarryPage URL:

Strong foundations for open government data
Some big changes are underway that will have very positive impacts on open government data in New Zealand.
A new home for Open Data NZ
Earlier this year, the New Zealand Open Government Data Programme moved from Land Information NZ to Stats NZ.
The move aligns with the change in Stats NZ's role from predominately data, analysis and reporting, to a national data and analytics leadership role that focuses on building capability across the government sector.
Integrating the Open Government Data Programme into Stats NZ means that planning and activities can take place across all areas of government data, and ensures that open data remains a core consideration in decision making.
Legislation for today
Did you know that the Statistics Act is over 40 years old?
At the moment Stats NZ is reviewing the legislation and will soon be consulting with the public on ways in which government should collect, manage and use data. Our vision is that the new legislation will be fit for today's modern data environment – recognising data as a strategic asset that can generate economic and social value, while continuing to maintain the public's trust and confidence.
Three-year Action Plan
In July 2017 Stats NZ will launch a cross-government, three-year Open Government Data Action Plan. The Action Plan aims to improve the release and re-use of open government data. Its strength is that it brings a joined-up approach across government.
- The Action Plan brings funding, training and support to help government agencies improve open data releases, data management, legal infrastructure and other important areas.
- There will be investment in 'data users' as well – to boost their capacity to use open data to help us better understand some of New Zealand's big social, environmental and economic issues. Consultations with data users and the public will identify these issues and the data needs linked to them, so they can be prioritised.
- Changing government culture from 'risk-averse' to 'open by design' is also a priority in the Action Plan – while ensuring basic foundations are in place, such as an effective freedom of information regime and robust privacy safeguards.
- Across government, the Action Plan addresses areas like the need for common open data objectives, requirements, standards and performance indicators.
The Action Plan is part of a broader programme of work being undertaken by Stats NZ to build capability in data management and use, and to enable maximum value to be generated from data wherever possible.
Have your say
We're currently seeking feedback on the draft Action Plan.
If you're an open data user, open data generator, open data advocate – or interested in any other capacity – then have your say on the Open Government Partnership site.
The consultation closes on 30 June.
