Abstract

“Detailed Nondisclosure Standards” of an institution include subject information and rationale that should not be disclosed by the institution. According to the Information Disclosure Act, such standards must be established in consideration of the nature of work, and continuous implementation is required. However, studies that reviewed the purpose and role of “Detailed Nondisclosure Standards” or the status of public institutions’ development and operation of such standards were insufficient despite such standards being an indispensable tool in practice and a major device to protect the people’s right to know. Therefore, this study introduces the strategies of the public institution and the research team to develop detailed standards for nondisclosure through the case of institution A. This will be of practical help to public institutions that intend to develop detailed nondisclosure standards in the future based on communication between institution A and the research team and sharing details during the project process.
