Facebook Inc. (FB) said Monday it is opening a public
consultation on the design for an oversight board for people to
appeal content decisions.
"This is another part of our ongoing, global engagement with a
wide range of organizations, think tanks and researchers to
determine how best to empower this entity to render independent
judgment on some of Facebook's most important and challenging
content decisions," a web post by Brent Harris, Facebook's director
of governance and oversight board, said.
Each submission will have a questionnaire and free-form
questions. The free-form questions will focus on membership, case
decisions and governance, and will provide design and structural
options. The company will accept responses for the next six
weeks.
Facebook said it is working with a team from Baker McKenzie,
which is providing project management support and will review each
submission. Facebook said it will publish a report in June.
