The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) on Tuesday launched a public consultation on a draft Cloud Policy Statement to seek views and comments on the content of the draft from interested parties and stakeholders no later than April 23 this year.
The CRA developed the Cloud Policy Statement, within the framework of its Strategy 2020-2024, where it supports the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030 and Qatar National Second Development Strategy 2018-2022.
The CRA sets within the statement the current scene and provides recommendations for overall policy and regulatory review that is instrumental to the development of a solid cloud computing industry in Qatar.
In line with the objectives of its strategy, the CRA has identified, in the Cloud Policy Statement, a comprehensive set of legal and regulatory requirements that competent government entities should adopt or update.
Similarly, the Cloud Policy highlights recommendations for stakeholders of the cloud value chain to ensure compliance with national and international laws and best practices.
“Under CRA’s mandate, one of our key objectives is to encourage and support a competitive Information and Communications Technology sector that provides advanced, innovative and reliable services in the State of Qatar. It is paramount to enable cloud services as it facilitates business continuity from anywhere and under any circumstances,” CRA President Mohammed Ali al Mannai said.
“Cloud computing is an opportunity for Qatar-based businesses to grow, for private and public entities to provide better services and, ultimately, for Qatar to become a regional hub and key player in the region. In addition, it will benefit consumers, stakeholders, and national economy by attracting domestic and foreign investments,” Mannai said.
Stakeholders can check the public consultation document through CRA’s website www.cra.gov.qa and send their views and comments by email to [email protected].
