4. Output to date
Face-to-face workshop and audio conferences to finalise approach in Policy document published on 26 October 2015
Privacy
WG04 makes ten policy recommendations to address key concerns, ranging from European Commission sponsorship of an accredited Privacy engineering program, adoption of Privacy by Design best practice by AIOTI members to creation of a ‘AIOTI Privacy Knowledge Base’.
Security
WG04 highlights key challenges, for example in relation to diverse stakeholders, technology and also societal acceptance and trust, and makes recommendations in respect of each.
Liability
WG04 analyses extent to which IoT technology may raise issues for current legal regime. We propose that the emphasis should, in the main, be on the development of policy solutions to these potential challenges.
Net Neutrality
WG04 provides case studies to help inform the activities of NRAs in light of the finalised text on net neutrality as set out in Telecoms Single Market package.

5. Next Steps Implementation Outreach
Privacy and security recommendations that AIOTI members should now take forward (e.g. adoption of Privacy-by-Design and Security–by-design best practice and frameworks for new product development). We need to show how this is being applied in practice.
Adoption by AIOTI members of Privacy principles
Establishment of the AIOTI Privacy and Security Knowledge Base, which will act as a reference tool for Large Scale Pilots
Outreach
Building on external activity to date (e.g. ‘Digital Revolution’ workshop on IoT liability at Universität Münster, response to BEREC draft report on IoT, Brussels workshops).
