You should not just generically mention these roles, the roles you mention should be directly linked to requirements you read throughout your scenario. Generic suggestions for COE members will not get you any points.

**DACI (Driver, Approver, Contributor, Informed)** - An alternative to RACI you'll sometimes see cited as a lighter-weight decision-making matrix.

When sitting for the CTA Board you need to make a decision on who to add to your COE based on the criteria in your scenario. You SHOULD NOT just produce a generic COE structure. You need to link your COE actors back to requirements in the scenario.

**Data Steward** - A business-aligned role accountable for the quality, definition, and appropriate use of a specific data domain (Accounts, Products, etc). Defines data standards, business rules, and data quality metrics, and works with IT to get them enforced. Owns the "what" and "why" of the data, not where or how it's physically stored.

**Data Custodian** - A technical/IT-aligned role responsible for the safe day-to-day storage, security, and technical management of data (backups, access controls, encryption, retention enforcement). Implements the policies that Data Stewards (and, at a higher level, Data Owners) define. Owns the "how" of managing the data infrastructure, not its business meaning.
