Antitrust Policy Antitrust Policy Notice
Linux Foundation meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it is the intention of the Linux Foundation to conduct all of its activities in accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. It is therefore extremely important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, and be aware of, and not participate in, any activities that are prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws. Examples of types of actions that are prohibited at Linux Foundation meetings and in connection with Linux Foundation activities are described in the Linux Foundation Antitrust Policy available at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/antitrust-policy. If you have questions about these matters, please contact your company counsel, or if you are a member of the Linux Foundation, feel free to contact Andrew Updegrove of the firm of Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the Linux Foundation.
Whitepaper submission for presentation at the Hyperledger Global Forum
Based on the great work going on in the White Paper Group here, Martha suggested that the group put together and submitted an abstract for a presentation at the Hyperledger Global Forum which is coming up in March. The deadline for the submission has just been pushed forward a week, but the group here are ready to submit their application on the topic Rethinking Public Sector through Blockchain
Public Policy, Global Trade and Blockchain
Hanna has been invited to speak at a WTO conference on global trade and blockchain in December, in a session entitled “How to Promote a Conducive Regulatory Environment”, where the “The idea of this session is to discuss governance issues, explore how best to promote a conducive regulatory and policy framework, and discuss potential follow-up actions, including for the WTO and WTO official- and specifically to pass some policy messages to trade officials.” Based on the proposed topic of the session, we will discuss input and hard earned expertise in this group.
The goal is to have someone with interesting insights come and talk to us on the next meeting Hanna is scheduled to chair- in the beginning of November- so ideas, suggestions and introductions are very welcome.
