I have no problem with this language as a general matter, but am concerned about the placement. I don’t understand why it is included in a sub-section about data re-use. It does not say anything about re-use; it only states that decisions about what data will be sent and how it will be requested is a contractual matter for the parties exchanging data. Is its inclusion here intended to insinuate that these legal negotiations should consider the re-use ratings from this IG? (This does not seem at all advisable from an organizational legal/risk-management perspective and I’m not sure it’s appropriate use of an IG.) Suggest it be relocated to elsewhere in the document, perhaps even following the first sentence of the paragraph in the introduction of the “Overview of approaches” section as follows:

Existing Wording:

Negotiation will be required to define what data will be sent and how it will be requested

Proposed Wording:

Contractual negotiation between parties will be required to define what data will be sent and how it will be requested
