6 / Next steps, and any other business?
- Mandatory data breach notification bill; AIIA writing a submission and consulting members for feedback
- Prioritisation of AIIA’s capability to respond to submissions; using the Policy SIG as an advisory ‘sounding board’ regarding which submissions AIIA completes, and just as importantly which ones it doesn’t. More focus on HIGH IMPACT pieces of work
- Categorisation of ‘priority level’ of issues that AIIA can address via submissions
- Aside from the current policy priorities and innovation package, we need to be forward thinking and consider:
“What is the next big issue?” / Kim Lim to send out invitation to Policy SIG members to contribute to discussion regarding mandatory data breach notification
