The WEF highlighted the need for flexible governance frameworks that support stringent control over sensitive areas, such as data management and use, through legal contracts, where necessary, while allowing different stakeholders some leeway depending on the nature of the organization. While some parts of governance will be rigid, others will need to have space into which the collaboration can grow, the paper summarized. The WEF cited its Cybercrime Atlas and the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA), a US-based nonprofit organization, as examples of existing structures that can help build such operational frameworks. The WEF also advocated for membership capability assessments. “Participants in a collaboration are sought based on the capabilities they bring and they [should] understand what they are obliged to provide to the collaboration in order to retain membership. The collaboration has ways of measuring engagement and the value provided by each member,” the paper explained.
