Session description

This will be a general educational session to introduce the basics of blockchain technology, its evolution, current and potential uses as well as challenges. The aim is to equip attendees with enough knowledge about the subject matter to investigate and explore further in their own pace. The link between internet governance will then be concluded by giving examples of scenarios where Internet services are impacted by blockchain technology whether in terms of online services provided or the very way data is stored or verified online. Additionally, the session will open the door for discussion and critical assessment of the notion that blockchain technology is the next natural evolution of the Internet. The moderator will not have a normative view and will encourage participants to provide their own thoughts and positions on this suggestion. The spirit of the session will be educational in the sense that people will get to learn how the blockchain technology is being advocated for and suggested by some to be a new stage in Internet evolution and requires embrace by the internet governance community as well as present arguments against this assumption.

Format

The session will be mostly interactive with the first part laying out the foundations of discussion and the second part would be an interactive and engaging role playing session where participants would take turn in groups to act as nodes in the blockchain network. Instead of a pure presentation style, the segment would include props and role playing so that to illustrate in a fun and engaging way what blockchain is and how it could contribute to the Internet's future. Throughout the interactive segments, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions openly and freely.
