I've been asked to run a session in Wyoming during the next legislative
Blockchain Task Force on May 6th & 7th on the topic of possible new state
laws & regulations around identity and privacy. As Wyoming has passed 13
different laws related to cryptographic technologies and blockchain in the
last two years, there is a real opportunity to help set the legislative
agenda not only for the Wyoming but also the United States and the rest of
the world.
I need two things:
- A list of government supported decentralized identity projects
sponsored by or intended for governments. I have a list of some Sovrin and
Veres One projects, but am missing quite a few from other companies. In
particular, there are a lot of companies doing KYC/AML pilots with
governments that I don't have details on. Seeking a short
sentence/paragraph of the project, and a picture and link I can put on a
slide for each.
- Any thoughts on what regulatory guidance or laws might be appropriate
for a libertarian privacy-oriented state government?
- What do people think of Illinois biometric laws, can Wyoming do
better?
- How do we limit AML regs from requiring money transmitter licenses
from most every consumer Lightning Node, Proof-of-Stake holder, or
small-time cryptocurrency miner, and thus forcing them to AML
register all
transfers and thus violating privacy of users?
- How to we prevent court requests for seizure of keys and instead
only demand transfer of digital assets, as keys protect both personal
information and digital assets.
- How do we persuade them to consider that personal data doesn't
easily fall into simple definitions of property, and to be careful about
regulating PII as property, aka #RightsNotProperty?
- Other identity/privacy oriented thoughts?
Thanks!
