Over 25 years ago policymakers established parameters for Internet addressing to protect innovators and to avoid collisions. Since then domain name protocols have been at the heart of major policy battles on censorship, copyright, privacy, cybersecurity, and Internet governance. How will these new decentralized addressing protocols handle these inevitable policy challenges? Does ICANN have a role? Will the federal government issue a new DWeb addressing green paper?

In this episode of Debugged, Medha Gupta sits down with Gabrielle Hibbert, security auditor and researcher at Least Authority, co-founder of Web3 native startup Future Proof Collective, and Fellow at the Decentralized Future Council, to discuss what Web3 is and how both governance and policy play a huge role in this space. Hibbert shares her unique journey in the technology sector and how she was able to leverage her background in public policy and economics to build an impactful career as a researcher, an educator, and an advocate for Web3 and blockchain.
For over 50 years the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) has enabled users to seamlessly connect with servers on the Internet by using human-friendly names like example.com. International governments, industry, and internet stakeholders have worked together to ensure that the DNS works. Yet, this system is not extending directly into web3. Several blockchain-based naming systems are popping up on the decentralized web. From .eth to Unstoppable Domains, there are millions of registered domains on web3 and none of them interact with the Internet's DNS. Our panelists will discuss whether the emergence of DWeb domains will result in disaster for the internet or some welcome change.
DFC Fellow, Gabrielle Hibbert sits down with Prof. Tonya M. Evans of the Tech Intersect Podcast to discuss the importance of placing inclusivity first while building the decentralized web. They discuss how we can over come the technological and sociological challenges that comes with web3 to ultimately avoid the ills present in web2.
In this episode, Foundry Fellow, Dyllan Brown-Bramble sits down with Gabrielle Hibbert, a Fellow at the Decentralized Future Council and Hillary Brill an Adjunct Professor and Senior Fellow Institute for Technology Law & Policy at Georgetown Law to discuss the work of the Decentralized Future Council, the future of Web3 law and policy, and why early-career professionals should get up to speed on it.
Virtual Webinar on the implications of Web3 in Electoral Politics. The panelist explore common decentralized protocols like DAOs, NFTS, POAPs and Cryptocurrency and their impact in elections.

A webinar hosted by the Decentralized Future Council and Trust and Safety Foundation. We'll look at the challenges of moderating content and ensuring trust and safety on the decentralized Web. There's been a lot of discussion about how Web3 or the Decentralized Web is the next iteration of the Internet. Everyone seems to agree that managing trust and safety in a decentralized web environment will present some challenges. Join us as we explore the potential trust and safety implications in a Web3 environment, what trust and safety practitioners should be aware of and prepare for, and how to get ahead of the curve, including building in trust and safety at the outset.
