The Open Notice Initiative is an effort that calls for an open, global and public infrastructure for consent-based notices. A key element of that infrastructure is the minimum viable consent receipt described in this document. Such a receipt will provide people with the knowledge necessary to make an informed choice about who gets their personal information and what they can do with it. This will be accomplished by providing an explicit record of the consent transaction from the web site to the user about what the user has consented to at the time of their initial transaction with the web site.
The objective for the basic fields for recording open policy notices in a registry. With these notices people can easily obtain a simple record of consent, and use this independently to manage personal data control and access personal data organisations have.
The objective of this first specification is to list the fields that are needed to create a Minimum Viable Consent Receipt (MVCR) and its subsequent registry listing, for open notices, which the Open Notice Initiative is to provide jurisdiction-ally appropriate consent related information in a common standard format.developing. At its minimum, jurisdiction of parties, location of consent provision, and location of data are critical components needed to provide information to various stakeholders.
In addition, the third party sharing of data, enabled by sharing a consent is a critical component for Consent & Information Sharing to be transparent. As suche a 3rd Party Lnk/Declaration format is also added below. This is in addition to the format for the MVCR.
The Alpha version of this draft is intended to be very focused on explicit consent online, and the ability for organisations to provide explicit consent. Our first aim is to research the state of play and compliance.

By its format and structure the MVCR is intended to provide the basic information to review further the compliance of policy for consent. The MVCR is a record in a standard format. As a result it can be further extended by jurisdiction, data type and additional context. A basic consent receipt will assure a basic level of general regulatory compliance for consent. It will do this by being open, accessible, extensible and providing a standard format to develop a higher quality of consent and policy usability, data privacy law usability.
