Editor's Notes
- Framing the Context : People generators/collectors/aggregators/cleaners/etc of geographic information during crisis Crisis Mappers/Digital Volunteers – somalia Volunteers Opt in contributors - OpenSignal (example of OSM Beijing) - gardening (Remote work) To what degree are “volunteers” aware of the ethical implication of their touch points more than one person reference “understanding the principles” Challenge - To envision the ethical challenges/implications and future of VGI (in whatever way you select), anticipating the evolving ecosystem (perceived or real) will have implication to standards/practices
- An approach to group/organizational structure/continuum- help frame VGI ethical issues Organizational Structures that influence how people and organizations navigate ethical challenges with VGI?How does the Roadmap/continuum of experience influence the use of VGI and Types Pop up groups on Ushahidi/European Migration Local groups SBTF (example of early evolving, and “still figuring it out”) DHN groups Volunteer groups that are affiliated conistently and regularly with traditional agencies MapAction Volunteer entities embedded in the design of a larger traditional organization- red cross volunteers - SOP, training manual, processes under hum principles. Wendy Harmon’s US examples Competing factors – just keeping the org going (SBTF), collective experience (diffuse of ethical practices) that build the organization, unknown Ethical challenges – Wanting to work inside or outside the system (group vs individuals) Making the decision of what to “map” and what not to ”map” – partners agency’s decision vs volunteers’ primary decision, or and approach of a deferred “do no harm” responsibility “Professional scrutiny should be across the board” How does an operational agency coordinate in real time with VTC’s to maintain responsible data practices, how much additional management is necessary? Is it feasible? Accidental mapping- (magnifying glass) – unintentionally displacing services, the mapping version of the CNN effect. The Challenge What the standards/practices should look like Examples of how folks are navigating
- People groups and interactions and the future Ethics/data privacy/professional experience –cross disciplines Examples – skype channes (stems from MSF now watching) – should there be ethical standard for this activity as well?
