Mordur Ingolfsson of the Icelandic Pirate Party,
http://www.piratar.is/policies/?lang=en  will meet with

Consensys, https://consensys.net/

who are developers of Ethereum, https://ethereum.org/ blockchain
applications.

The Pirate Party is a young international political movement that fights
for real transparency and responsibility in politics, easier access to
information, direct democracy, freedom of information and copyright
reform. In Iceland the The Pirate Party has the most support of any
party for six months running.

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts:
applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of
downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

They will explore ways that Ethereum can be used to reinvent cyberspace.

Free and open to the public, the meeting will be at the offices of
Consensys, 49 Morgan Street, in Brooklyn.
