Citizen's Charter for Cyberspace Roundtable

Join the New York Internet Society (http://isoc-ny.org/), & the Smart Contracts Foundation (http://smartcontracts.foundation/) for a roundtable to strategize around the role of technology, specifically smart contracts and the blockchain, in reinventing governance and rights in the digital space.

We envision this conversation leading to formation of a civic body; a community of lawyers, hackers, activists, and civic leaders, meeting together on a regular basis to build out the tools needed to create this future.

The goal of the sessions is to develop a plan for implementing the Charter that will be verbally hacked the day before at Brooklyn Law Magna Carta Symposium (https://www.brooklaw.edu/alumniandfriends/attendanevent/magna-carta).. We’ll take the living breathing Citizens Charter and map out the framework to implement it using smart contracts & Ethereum.
