UN internet governance group to create trial DAO for public sector

The group didn’t say what it would do with its DAO but emphasized its potential to facilitate decision-making.

A United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) group plans to create a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in a pilot project to demonstrate its applications in the public sector, the IGF announced on Dec. 21.

The IGF Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Assurance and Standardization wanted to showcase how public sector organizations can “leverage blockchain technology and DAO principles to foster transparent, rules-based, and high-integrity governance structures.” The IGF did not specify how its DAO would be used, but it emphasized DAOs’ decision-making capacity rather than financial aspects.
