    On September 17th, as a part of the Brooklyn Law Magna Carta

collaboratively draft a Citizen's Charter for Cyberspace. Legal experts
and renowned digital rights activists will also help guide the session.

    In the following two days (September 18th-19th) with the NY Internet
Society, Brooklyn Law and Cardozo Law School, Consensus Systems invites
legal experts, and technologists, and thought leaders to implement the
charter using smart contracts and decentralized applications on
Ethereum’s blockchain. The event will group together teams of
distributed expertise, comprised of developers, legal professionals,
civic designers, and other interested parties, to focus on implementing
pieces of the Citizen’s Charter. Actual code is not required, although
the intention should be towards a working iteration of the concept. At
least one ConsenSys developer with blockchain experience will be part of
each team, and others will beavailable for assistance. The event and
hackathon hope to include citizens from diverse backgrounds to envision
a fair terrain for cyberspace. It will be part of an ongoing series of
further drafts, revisions, and implementations.
