[liberationtech] First full report on the largest humanitarian crowdsourcing initiative to date

2012-06-04 Thread Robert Munro
The first full report about Mission 4636 Crowdsourcing and
Crisis-affect Community is now at:
   http://www.mission4636.org/report/
The page contains a link to the report which will be published in the
Journal of Information Retrieval, a summary of
findings/recommendations, and the comments from the Haitian community.

Mission 4636 was a predominantly Haitian initiative that I coordinated
in the wake of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. It was the first time
that crowdsourcing (microtasking) had been used for humanitarian
response and is still the largest deployment of its kind -- larger
than the next 10 deployments combined.

In summary, the report has the following findings:

1. The greatest volume, speed and accuracy in information processing
was by Haitians and those working most closely with them.
2. Previous reports about Mission 4636 have incorrectly credited
international organizations with the majority of the work, often
inflating the 5% of data that went through the software of
international not-for-profits to look like 100% of the initiative.
3. No new technologies played a significant role in Mission 4636,
which is again contrary to most reports to date.
4. Crowdsourcing (microtasking) was an effective strategy to structure
and translate information into reports that the responders among the
US Military could act on.
5. The online chat was vital for information sharing, as no one person
could know all the possible locations and translations, but someone
among the collaborating volunteers often did.
6. Among social media platforms, Facebook was by far the most
important, which is contrary to most research on social media for
emergency management that has focused on Twitter.
7. Translation was the largest and most important information
processing task, followed by categorization and then geolocation and
structuring information about missing people.
8. The use of a public-facing ‘crisis map’ was opposed by the majority
of people within Mission 4636 and exposed the identities of at-risk
individuals.
9. The majority of volunteers came together through social media and
strong social ties.
10. A quarter of all crowdsourced information processing was by paid
workers within Haiti, who were one of the most vital workforces but
have also been excluded from most other reports to date.
11. The most important connections to the country were through the
volunteers themselves, with direct relationships to people managing
the clinics, radio stations, and individual people that we were
supporting.

From the findings in the report, the following recommendations are
made for organizations or individuals considering the use of
crowdsourcing in response to future disasters:

1. Find and manage volunteers via strong social ties.
2. Maintain a ten-to-one local-to-international workforce.
3. Default to private data practices.
4. Publish in the language of the crisis-affected community.
5. Do not elicit information for which there is not the capacity to respond.
6. Do not elicit emergency response communications.
7. Use social media to encourage the centralization of information.
8. Establish partnerships with technology companies.
9. Avoid partnerships with media organizations and citizen journalists.
10. Integrate, don’t innovate or disrupt.
11. Employ people with close ties to the crisis-affected region.

The majority of the report is an analysis of how the Mission 4636
volunteers and workers collaborated online to structure, filter and
share information among people within Haiti and among the response
community. The particular focus is on the diaspora, and the argument
is that the diaspora were the key to new methods of information
sharing during a crisis, not the technology they happened to be using.
Having said that, subscribers to this list might be interested to know
that among the small role played by international engineers, 90% of
the management was by Stanford alums.

 Has anyone tested this plugin to see what information is leaked

When last I checked with tcpdump (about sixteen months ago) I saw no
such leakage.

This is a public email list, so everything on it is public in some way.

Anyone in the world can sign up for the list, and any subscriber can view
the list archives (ie, this thread is at
https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/private/liberationtech/2012-June/004093.html).
 You can see the archives by choosing this list at mailman.stanford.edu and
logging in.  Or, people could use the link that you provided (which is
indexed on Google, I think, based on a phrase search for one of the emails
in that archive).  Or, even if there weren't archives, since this is a
public email list that anyone can sign up for, you should assume that
whatever malicious user you are worried about has an account on the list
and is getting every email that anyone sends to it and indexing it
themselves.

At that point, any privacy you're getting is just security through
obscurity.

Sam makes a great point.

In general, it is a best practice to assume that anything posted to a
mailing list like this (or any other form of social media) is public,
regardless of any privacy settings.

Even if the list is not indexed by the maintainers, any member could
choose to copy the messages sent to the list, and post them on the
public web.

However, I do believe that this list does not make the subscriber list
publicly available, so if someone wants to sign up and lurk, as long as
they do not post, their identity would not be known to anyone other than
the admins.

I believe we have also agreed, generally, as a community, that the content
here should not be shared broadly outside the list, or consider on the

Yes, I agree that the community believes these things.

The problem is that a malicious actor could sign up for the list and
forward messages posted to it. The admins allow freemail users to

While I trust the members of the community would not violate the spirit

2012-06-04 Thread Sam King
Regarding community standards, I think that it depends on context.  For
instance, when someone posts an event or a job listing to this list, I will
often forward it on under the assumption that people want it to be public,
but I typically don't forward on any discussions of security or particular
countries or current events under the assumptions that the people involved
would consider that private-ish.

Greg does bring up a good point regarding community standards versus
security, though.
