= group active at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, convened by Primavera De Filippi


=Description=

"The goal is to examine the current applications and potential opportunities of cryptoledger
technology to create policy recommendations outlining appropriate integrations to existing
legal infrastructure. Ideally, the document will contain a set of recommendations concerning
potential applications of distributed cryptoledger technology and how they can be regulated
within the existing legal framework, as well as recommendations with regard to different
areas that should either be better regulated or rather be left unregulated.

It hopes to answer the following questions:

● Under what circumstances should tokens issued in the above categories fall under
existing regulations? For examples, securities as defined by the 1933 securities act.

● Under what circumstance can new legal infrastructure be developed which
accommodates these tokens? For example, how can individual tokens be linked to
legally enforceable intellectual property?

● To what extent can we rely on technical and contractual means to deploy a system of
internal validation and self-regulation that complies with current sectoral
regulations?"
