Endorsed G. 30. 31. Principle on Accountability The Principle on accountability requires the development and implementation of data protection and data management policies and guidelines. This would include: (i) Data protection and data management policies that are clearly documented and communicated with relevant stakeholders; and (ii) Continuous review of data protection and data management policies to take into account relevant emerging technologies and trends, and to make amendments as necessary to maintain currency. H. Principle on Development and Adoption of Best Practices The Principle on development and adoption of best practices recognises the non-binding nature of the Framework, and encourages ASEAN Member States to promote adherence with these principles. ASEAN Member States should endeavour to encourage domestic adoption of measures that give effects to the Principles in this Framework. Initiative under Strategic Priority 4: ASEAN Data Protection and Privacy Forum 32. ASEAN Member States can establish an annual ASEAN Data Protection and Privacy Forum to facilitate knowledge sharing and discuss the implementation details of the four proposed initiatives under this Framework, whether the ASEAN Member State has an established data protection authority or otherwise. 33. The ASEAN Data Protection Forum can facilitate the sharing of knowledge and operational know-how by policy makers and regulators, which will help ASEAN Member States that do not have a personal data protection authority in setting up their respective authorities. It can also discuss, among other things, issues such as enforcement cooperation, considerations when dealing with multiple stakeholders in data protection enforcement cooperation. Effect of the Framework 34. This Framework is non-binding, and does not create rights or obligations under domestic or international law for the ASEAN Member States. Implementing the Framework 35. To facilitate the implementation of this Framework, including the proposed initiatives, ASEAN Member States should endeavour to provide regular biannual updates on their progress of implementing the Framework at the working group level. This will enable ASEAN Member States to monitor their development with respect to this Framework. 8
