Government & Regulatory Outreach

Create a professional pathway for public-sector and regulatory communication.

DAC maintains a controlled contact pathway for government, regulators, public agencies, policymakers and related officials who need to communicate with the project about consumer, privacy, market, safety or policy matters.

Who we want to hear from

Relevant perspectives include:

  • Federal, provincial and territorial regulators
  • Government policy professionals
  • Consumer-affairs offices
  • Privacy and information authorities
  • Competition and market authorities
  • Public-sector researchers and officials
Questions that matter

What DAC wants to understand.

  1. 01

    Which evidence or aggregate information would be useful to public authorities?

  2. 02

    What referral formats support responsible review?

  3. 03

    How should DAC distinguish public information from confidential correspondence?

  4. 04

    Which jurisdictional pathways apply to different issues?

Participation model

A relationship first. Permissions separately.

DAC does not equate professional identity with access. Approved members receive only the Network capabilities appropriate to the relationship and specific DAC engagements.

01

Connect

Submit a professional application or the sector-specific contact pathway.

02

Review

DAC screens the relationship and requests additional information where necessary.

03

Verify

Credentials, identity or organizational information may be checked where appropriate.

04

Engage

Approved participants receive controlled Network Hub access and explicit assignments.

Participation boundary

Communication with a government or regulatory body does not mean that body endorses, partners with, or has made findings about DAC or any reported issue.
