January 28 - February 21, 2026 | Digital Transparency Code Sprint

Four-Week International Task Force

Multi-Stakeholder Standards Development

The four-week Digital Transparency Code of Conduct and Practice Sprint represents an intensive, multi-stakeholder standards development initiative. This collaborative effort brings together regulators, technical experts, and industry practitioners from multiple jurisdictions to develop comprehensive governance frameworks for digital privacy professionals.

Unlike traditional standards development processes that can span years, this sprint methodology enables rapid consensus-building through structured working groups, asynchronous collaboration tools, and targeted in-person sessions. The approach balances speed with thoroughness, ensuring that deliverables are both technically sound and practically implementable.

Participating Jurisdictions

Australia

Department of Home Affairs coordination

United Kingdom

ICO and DCMS partnership

Canada

Federal and Provincial Privacy Commissioners

European Union

Convention 108+ Committee representatives

Sprint Structure

  • Weekly virtual working sessions with rotating times for global participation
