A general informed consent form may be available, but a local Institutional Ethical Review Board may demand changes after reviewing. It is crucial that essential data sharing aspects are explicitly handled in the informed consent form [De Novo]. The consent information should be made available as metadata.

Why is this step important
A properly designed informed consent is crucial for data reuse. Without it, archiving, sharing, etc may not be possible.
Expertise requirements for this step
This section could describe the expertise required. Perhaps the Build Your Team step could then be an aggregation of all the “Expertise requirements for this step” steps that someone needs to fulfil his/her FAIRification goals.
How to
FAIRopoly
The development of this ICF benefited from previous experience with ICF submissions by 4 ERN Registries (ERKReg, EuRRECa, ENROL, VASCA) and from the utilization of “machine-readable” consent-related Ontologies (Data Use Ontology and Informed Consent Ontology). Several iterative expert reviews (including patient organizations and ERN representatives) were conducted to finalize the ICF.
