PANEL DISCUSSION

Abstract Title*

Rethinking Public Sector through Blockchain.

45 minutes:

I. OVERVIEW, MARTA

Introduce Public Sector

Introduce panel

Saptarshi Choudhury

Sean O'Kelly

Bobbi Muscara

Introduce Public sector special interest group

ADD Summary Here

Discuss SIG goals   tell us about work we have been doing.

ADD Goals Here

• How did we come up...COMMONALITY. what process we used...

Study use cases meeting discussions brainstorming, build upon ideas during discussion. 

What have we found  4 themes

CONCLUSIONS ON COMMONALITY 
1.  Identity - Bobbi SSI, DID importance 
2.  Trace-ability (as Saptarshi mentioned, we also refer to this as Regulatory Compliance) - degrees of efficiencies 
3.  Integration and Inter-operability Government is participate (validator of ecosystem or owner operator). (Sean)
4.  Governance What does it mean for government governance of blockchain  ( government backed blockchain standard governance model) (Sean). 

Discover new pathways for the Public Sector when discovering the benefits of Blockchain Technology

HOW IS BLOCKCHAIN USED TODAY,

ADD EXAMPLES from Group

Sustainable Development Goals (17) SDG - How Public Sector initiatives  fit in with 2030 goal achievement 
Are any projects happening now?

ADD Relevant projects

Future of Public Sector with Blockchain technology, leveraged to help attain the 17 SDG

ADD Examples

Government lays down rules,  Blockchain supplies a validation platform,

ADD Governance Examples

.* mix public and private

What is preventing it from happening, Obstacles?

Add Obstacles Here

Digital islands 
integration 
Inter-operability

I

III. Application: Uses Cases 

• Currently in use
  
  
• Proposed, POC
  
  
  
  

IV. CONCLUSIONS /  Recommendations based on inferences during discussions final thoughts to connect everything together.

Add Conclusions from group

Marta draws final conclusion

• What we have learned / seen in SIG (presentations we have heard / conclusions from these examples that made us dive deeper)
• What we have consider / developed a common theme  ( Identity, the interaction, the regulation and the governance) 

Abstract*

"Governments' and other public sector entities core function is to act on behalf of society to create the laws and rules that must be followed, and to ensure that they are being followed.  It is foundationally necessary for governments to have access to accurate, relevant, and complete information in order to fulfill these responsibilities, which is why governments possess legal, regulatory, and judicial mechanisms to compel the truth from all societal participants.  This authority uniquely positions governments' as validators of truth and custodians of trusted information.  Emerging technologies continually provide new capabilities that enable creativity and the rethinking of existing processes, interactions, and models.  While all emerging technologies will play a role in the public sector, blockchain will certainly be among the most consequential, because of its specific role as a facilitator, validator, and custodian of trusted information.  This technology promises to enable governments' and other public sector entities to interact with societal participants within a larger ecosystem, or fabric, which will break down traditional public-private silos and provide completely new approaches toward governance.  The key components of this ecosystem are a) identity (real world items of value (assets) that can be represented digitally), b) interactions (traceability of transactions), c) regulatory compliance (the embedded laws, rules, and contracts that should be followed), and d) governance (the creation, maintenance, and operation of the ecosystem)."  

Benefits to the Ecosystem *

"We believe this discussion is compelling because every single regulated industry across all countries will be both impacted by and require cooperation from the public sector."
