The five stages of implementation from Open Ownership's guide: Consider, Legal, Systems, Data and Publish

Here are some common specific issues that we provide assistance with:

Consider

Legal

Systems
Can you provide a general overview of the benefits and costs associated with creating public BO registers? Are there any good practice examples of producing legal definitions of BO? What should our threshold level be? Could you review our terms of reference for the contracting of BO software development?
Can you assist with our internal advocacy to encourage senior government officials to commit to beneficial ownership transparency? Can you provide feedback on our proposed BO data collection forms, and whether these meet the disclosure requirements outlined in our regulations? How could we improve our existing BO software to better meet international standards?
What good practices exist for engagement with stakeholders as we consider BO reforms? What legislation would be required to enable the sharing of data between state registers for verification purposes? What changes would we need to make to our systems to enable data exports to the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard?

Data

Publish

 
Could you advise on how to ensure our BO data complies with the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard? How can we best display BO data in a visual format?  
What unique IDs should we use to link data from different state registries? How can we reconcile publication of BO data with our local privacy laws? What advice can you provide on minimising any potential security concerns associated with publication?  
Could you review and provide comments on our concept note for a proposed verification system for BO data? We would like to include our BO data in the Global Open Ownership Register. Is this possible?
