Who has rights to data?
  • Who is responsible for JainLink
  • JAINA Long Range Planning Committee
  • Partners in JainLink include other centers,
    organizations, groups, etc.
  • Who owns the data
  • JAINA. Individual centers that have shared their
    mailing list jointly own the data for their Jain
    Center
  • If JainLink / JAINA decides to not support this,
    what happens to the data
  • Data can be exported to Excel spread sheet.
    There will be no loss of data.
  • Who will JainLink information be shared with
  • JAINA
  • Local Jain Centers for only their members
  • Will the members be bombarded with emails,
    solicitations, etc.
  • No. Plan is for a newsletter 1x per month and
    any current/urgent relevant information.
  • Individuals can control if they want
  • Group administrators will manage their own groups

Security, Privacy key to mass adoption
  • JainLink has a high degree on security and
    privacy features
  • Its up to us to establish policies which
    everyone buys into
  • Individuals control his/her own profile,
    visibility to others
  • Other than name and e-mail, all other profile
    items can be hidden by individuals
  • Only approved centers/organizations can access
    other information
  • Individual GROUP controls its own privacy
    policy
  • JainLink will establish strict policy for
    administrators work in progress
  • Initial policy must be blessed by legal and
    participating organizations
  • Multiple layers of approval required for any
    change in access rights
  • Propose to recruit a team of technical expert in
    this area from our community
