Data Governance

Intake Form

Use this form to submit an issue or request to the data governance committees and related stewardship groups. This form helps ensure:

  • Data governance committees have consistent, cohesive, and complete information for intaking, evaluating and making informed decision about a request; and
  • Communication and feedback processes are transparent to everyone involved in the process.

Requests will be triaged by the Data Governance Operational Committee for alignment with University priorities, relevance to the Data Governance charge, impact to the UW as a whole, and the workload capacity for the Data Governance Committees and domain councils. Priority issues will be brought to the relevant committees or councils to incorporate into their work.
