Session Details
During ICANN81, ICANN's Office of the CTO (OCTO) will be leading two sessions on blockchain name technologies. In advance of these sessions, ICANN Distinguished Engineer Paul Hoffman will be publishing two documents in the OCTO Document Series that discuss these technologies in-depth. This prep week webinar will help you understand what OCTO will be talking about in the papers and at ICANN81, why it's relevant to you, and will highlight some of the online resources available to help prepare for the sessions. There will be a Q&A period towards the end of this Prep Week session.

Kind regards,

Justine

Hi Evan,

"The alternative to tolerance is reciprocity or other punitive measures, which will only make the fragmentation worse."

Indeed and the cryptocurrency is a good example, if the OFAC had the ability to censure some Ethereum currency , they did not have this capability with Bitcoin based currency since it would be difficult to pinpoint responsibility at any level .

Friendly regards

Hi Chokri,

What is important to note is that the view of internet fragmentation has evolved and now a certain level of fragmentation is tolerable ( at different layers : Technical , Governance , Trade ), and as you have mentioned now we are looking for bridges. Hope that is not only a business trend!

I don't think we have a choice over whether or not to tolerate it. Fragmentation already exists, in the form of arbitrary website blockages in various countries. The most obvious is the Great Firewall of China, but that country is far from alone in blocking sites. The reasons can be political, economic, cultural or ethical, and even western countries engage in it (for instance, piracy or Nazi sites). The alternative to tolerance is reciprocity or other punitive measures, which will only make the fragmentation worse.

The fragmentation can even be technical and benign rather than active. The whole reason for ICANN's "universal acceptance" marketing campaign is to convince the world to implement ICANN's initiatives in new domains and non-Latin character-set support. Surely these campaigns wouldn't be needed if implementation was widespread.

- Evan
