Panel on Internet Decentralization – Next Steps

Panelists:

  • Christian Huitema (Private Octopus)
  • Dirk Kutscher (HKUST)
  • Arnaud Taddei (Broadcom)
  • Lixia Zhang (UCLA)

Panel Description:

The previous DINRG meetings all had lively open mic discussions. However
we noticed that those spontaneous conversations, while being interesting
and insightful, tend to head to different issues in diverse directions.
At this meeting we will continue/extend the previous discussions by
gathering a small group of panelists and start the discussion with a
list of questions collected from the previous meetings. We will have an
open mic for all audience and share the list of discussion questions on
DINRG list before the meeting; by gathering a panel and preparing a list
of questions, we hope to make the discussions more effective and
fruitful, moving towards our overarching goal of identifying an ordered
list of issues that DINRG aims to address in coming years.

Questions to be Discussed:

  1. “Centralization” – state of system
    • do we have a good enough understanding of the factors (economic,
      technical, regulatory)?
    • what has changed recently?
    • what should we study more?
  2. Responding to centralization
    • how should societies and market react?
    • which groups & stake-holders should get engaged?
    • whose interests do we want to push?
    • what could go wrong (risks in countering centralization)
  3. Future work for DINRG
    • what should DINRG focus on?
    • what are most fruitful topics and potential projects?
    • what could/should be the results of the DINRG work?
