(Bobbi)
Hyperledger Public Sector Special Interest focused on applying distributed Ledger technology to the Public Sector.
Public Sector organizations are business set up with the aim of providing a public service . they exist in all three levels of government ( federal, state and local) . Most comprised of organizations that are owned or operated by government or work directly with those agencies that provide services for its citizens.
Governments role in society is to maintain trusted information. A role that will continue to be of central importance to its citizen.
By leveraging Blockchain Technology Governments can add trust to systems.

How did we come up...COMMONALITY. what process we used...
Study use cases meeting discussions brainstorming, build upon ideas during discussion.
(Sean O'Kelly)
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).

"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 foundation-ally 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)."
