Open slots and their proposed subjects.

A proposed subject is not a finding and not a commitment. The desk that owns the slot confirms, changes or replaces it at commissioning.

How to propose a subject or contribute.

  1. Send a counter-proposal or a scoping note through the contribution form on this page, with the slot code, for example C-01 or XT-09, in the subject field.
  2. Say what the subject should cover, which country, sector or technology editions it would read across, and which open sources would carry its baseline.
  3. Evidence for the proposed subject is welcome now: a dataset release, an official statistic or a peer-reviewed paper, with its licence.
  4. The desk that owns the subject reviews every proposal at commissioning. The subject is confirmed, changed or replaced then, and the decision is listed in Releases and notices.
