# MyData Operators Awards 2021 (Peer Call)
Once the initial applications have been assessed by the review team, the applicant is matched with another applicant for the peer feedback round. The purpose of the peer feedback round (including calls) is to co-learn, network and support improving the general quality of all descriptions of the application.

The matched applicants will have the chance to read the public information of the fellow applicant and they may provide general feedback directly in the application platform. This should be completed before the peer call takes place.

Peer feedbacks for **Personium** and **Diabetes Services**.

## Feedback for [Diabetes Services](https://diabetes.services/)
> Diabetes Services is building a human-centric digital ecosystem of data using services for diabetes- and lifestyle management for better health and quality of life.

### Positive aspects of the application (optional)
1. [open-source platform](https://github.com/diabetes-services/MyPCH-SC)
2. flexible to use different components for functional elements. e.g. SC, NextCloud, etc.
3. Personium also use WebDAV and RBAC for permission and storage format.

### Key areas for improvement (optional)
1. Wasn't SC is personal data transfer component, too? I would say the technology level is at least 7. Please check with Christoph. :P
2. Can you also add explanation on how data-using service sends request and retrieves data?
3. It would be nice to give brief description which MyData Operators you are working with and which functional element(s) they provide so that MyData Operators can promote the merits of becoming an operator?
### Questions and topics for the peer feedback call (optional)
1. Are you planning to collaborate with others in Service management, personal data storage?
2. I like your value exchange plan (royalty model). You mentioned anonymous data, how can you provide the value back to the specific user? How about personal data as mentioned in your future of growth example?
3. Can you tell us more about Governance support? Personium is weak at this area and would like to learn from others.
4. Can the platform be used outside of Denmark and Europe?

### Governance support

#### Old
Personium does not provide any legal governance support since we are just platform provider. However, Personium takes the following efforts to promote healthy ecosystem growth.

Operator Ecosystem (Decentralized)
Personium Units (PDSs) operated by different operators can communicate with each other securely. Personium enables any operator to be its own ecosystem owner by running its own X509 Certificate Authority and issuing certificates to other operators.

App Ecosystem
Provide app market framework that review/manage for open-source only apps.
