In the meantime, “those who wanted to maintain the status quo have won
yes, it's key to break status quo early and in several small ways simultaneously, to signal it is at all possible. Vgl [[Een goed gesprek over digitale soevereiniteit in de gemeente]]
American cloud giants Amazon, Microsoft and Google, as well as Chinese tech giants Huawei and Alibaba, are all members of Gaia-X. In 2021, the annual summit in Milan was sponsored by Huawei and Alibaba, prompting backlash.
Same is happening wrt IDSA, who have a global orientation, but are treated as EU grouping, which they're not.
Those firms “steered the entire roadmap,” Lechelle said, throwing money and people at it. “The committees were drowning. They [global players] had the capacity, the bandwidth, but we were already underwater ... Americans have full-time lobbyists and massive budgets. Their job is basically to derail any initiative they don’t like.”
Key friction. One cannot rule out non-EU parties mostly, esp their EU entities. But presence often obstructive / malicious compliance. You'd need much better governance / rulebooks upfront to flag and remove.

During one of those conversations Adosh pointed me to Demo, a “grammar” for understanding organisations as sets of commitments, agreements and transaction between people, by a group at Delft University.

this may be relevant to me now again, wrt governance frameworks in data spaces.
IDSA announces near release of the data space protocol. Tested it with TNO's connector a good while ago.

Tim Davies looks at the bridge between #opendata and #AI. Should go throug the chapter in version 1 of the State of Open Data too. Note: while Tim acknowledges some of the EU data strategy developments (e.g. the dataspaces) it doesn't mention others (e.g. data altruistic non-profit entities) which may fit the call for instutions better. Data space aren't an institution, but a common market
