The Cloud challenges, Legislative conformance, Degree of control by or on behalf of the responsible public administration, Data privacy, Portability of data functions across multiple systems and clouds operating in concert, Cloud solution design, Skills needs.

OASIS PACR TC: OASIS Public Administration Cloud Requirements Technical Committee Some work has been done in creating typologies of cloud computing service function levels, and towards models of services; and several recently-formed coalitions have proposed requirements lists at one or another level of cloud activity. However, there is little help available to governments to integrate those lists into common, readily-understood rules that inform tests or acquisition criteria; and little or no openly available, vendor-neutral information mapping such requirements to the rather large but loosely-organized body of existing ICT standards. Join the TC and be part of the discussion
