| Shawn | shawn@wilborneconsulting.com | What are some of the hurdles in developing public/private partnerships? How can I get started on contributing (developing, advising, funding) to an ongoing project? |
| K Sanjay Kumar | ksanjay99kumar@gmail.com | 1). Maybe in some cases network users may not have the ability to maintain and secure the network, they may need an authority(govt, ngo, private entity) who does that for them. What standards, guidelines would you propose to make sure authority behaves in a just way and doesn't compromise the ability of DLT ? 2). How to deal with situations when after a certain time the interests of network users and the authority don’t align (conflict resolution) . For example, if users want a new consensus model which would remove the authority or change the authority or limit their power ? 3). How important do you think guidelines, standards and frameworks are? And what challenges would it pose in convincing the authorities ? |
