In order to provide the raw data, ICANN aims to create a data publishing platform as well as processes for ICANN to publish the data to said platform.<ref>https://www.icann.org/opendata</ref> These processes and procedures will include data standards and community engagement measures. They will also deal with privacy standards; ICANN has said it intends to “safeguard data from misuse and rigorously protect the public’s right to privacy.”<ref>https://www.icann.org/opendata</ref> These data privacy mechanisms will work to redact or mask any confidential or sensitive data ahead of publication.
