The hyperstate of data - the same data being both personal and non personal?
linkedin
December 17, 2018
Although we tend to believe that data is just data, in itself it can have various states over time. This is what I would like to call the data life cycle. In this article, I will show you how data can evolve over various states in its life cycle and by making use of these states in a smart way, we can work, if the circumstances are right, with personal data in open, immutable and permanent data environments without lacking compliance to GDPR.

Creating Trust in Citizen Participation through Decentralized Autonomous Citizen Participation Organizations (DACPOs)
dg.o '22: Proceedings of the 23rd Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research
September 14, 2022
Blockchain-based Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are systems for transacting and storing value by automatically executing a function without the need for trusted, centralized authorities. Participative budgeting requires voting about budget allocation by communities and is often confronted with issues in trust and transparency. Yet, DAOs are hardly used for participative budgeting. In this research, we introduce Decentralized Autonomous Citizen Participation Organizations (DACPOs). In a DACPO, data and actions are recorded and autonomously executed in a decentralized way. DACPOs can be used for enabling participative budgeting and thereby provide transparency, decrease the risks of fraud and corruption, and increase citizens’ trust. The viability of DACPOs depends on a number of factors, including a minimum number of citizens who participate. In further research, factors influencing the use of DACPOs for participative budgeting can be further analyzed and tested.

Governance impacts of blockchain-based decentralized autonomous organizations: an empirical analysis
Taylor and Francis - Policy Design and Practice
October 15, 2023
The rapid rise in blockchain-based Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) offers policy-makers and decision-makers new opportunities to automatically execute decisions and processes that help enhance transparency, accountability, participation and trust. Yet, many DAOs have a limited lifespan. There is little empirical evidence of the effect of governance elements on the viability of DAOs. Using 220 on-chain governed DAOs, this paper analyses how governance elements (accountability, decision/voting, and incentives) influence the viability of DAOs in the long-term. The findings show that DAOs without weighted decision-making and without incentive structures are more viable than those with weighted decision power and incentive mechanisms. This suggests that financial and share-like DAO governance elements do not or may even negatively contribute to the long-term viability of DAOs. Also, voting power distribution is found to have a statistically significant influence on DAOs’ viability. We further propose a preliminary theory that relates governance elements to the long-term viability of DAOs. These insights will help policy-makers in designing more viable DAOs. Future research should investigate how DAO objectives, the chosen deployment infrastructure and the type of users can impact the long-term viability of DAOs.

The ins and outs of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) unraveling the definitions, characteristics, and emerging developments of DAOs
Elsevier - Blockchain: Research and Applications
June 19, 2023
Despite the increase in the number of blockchain-based Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), there is no consensus on what constitutes a DAO. This paper provides an in-depth study of DAOs by analyzing their definitions, characteristics, and emerging developments. Existing definitions in the literature hardly recognize common functionalities and intermingle coded DAOs, DAO deployment platforms, and blockchain DAOs. We developed a comprehensive DAO definition by reviewing the literature and empirically analyzing 1,859 DAOs. The findings show that many DAOs were inactive and that a threshold of 20 tokenholders is a tipping point for DAOs to survive over time and maintain sustained levels of activity. Finally, based on an empirical analysis of 9,845 perceived DAOs, we identified the emerging development of off-chain voting. This emerging development challenges the autonomous nature of DAOs. We recommend further research to investigate the effect of governance structures on their long-term sustainability and viability for both on-chain and off-chain DAOs.

Governance Challeges of Blockchain and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
Information Polity
December 11, 2019
The rise of open and distributed technologies like blockchain have resulted in discussion on the need for (new) governance models in which multiple actors need to collaborate. Various incidents and problems occur due to flaws in blockchain protocols, smart contract and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and often it is not clear how decisions are made concerning the evolvement of blockchain applications. While DAO is often the term used to refer to the organizational arrangement guiding the blockchain applications, governance is needed to guide the decision-making. In this paper, we identify and analyze the potential challenges regarding the governance of blockchain initiatives in the various types of decentralized networks. The challenges for the various types of blockchain and projects are identified and analyzed using literature and case study research. The governance challenges are classified based on a framework consisting of different layers - infrastructure, application, company and institution/country - and stages – design, operate, evolve/crisis. The results show that in various stages and layers different challenges occur and there is a need for different governance models. Furthermore, blockchain applications governance and blockchain infrastructure governance were found to be entangled adding to the challenge. Blockchain and blockchain applications need proper governance, especially there is a need of clear governance models in public permissionless blockchains and its applications. Our research shows a specific need for further research into potentially new governance models for DAO applications on permissionless blockchains, linked to the products and services offered, taking regulatory regimes into account; whereas in other cases, namely permissioned blockchains and other type of applications, existing governance models might often be feasible. For developing new governance models, we recommend learning from the lessons from the open source community.

Simpel Snel en Betrouwbaar Eigenaarschap verhandelen
Ledger Leopard
February 12, 2021
Blockchain technologie gaat over verspreide controle en verantwoordelijkheid. Het verspreiden van verantwoordelijkheid kan op verschillende manieren. Zo bedacht Quintus Willemse 5 jaar geleden een oplossing om ervaren medewerkers aan hun bedrijf te binden en ze mede eigenaar te maken. Een aantal jaren later richt hij samen met Marcel ten Brink The Share Council op. The Share Council maakt het mogelijk om privé aandelen in tokens te verhandelen op een efficiënte en gemakkelijke manier.
Middels het gebruik van blockchain technologie kunnen aandelen worden getokenized. Hierdoor zijn deze makkelijker te verhandelen en kunnen inefficiente & burocratische processen worden vermeden. Dit maakt het ook eenvoudiger voor bedrijven die hun medewerkers mede eigenaar willen maken. Zijn medewerkers die eigenaar zijn van hun bedrijf, beter af?
Tijdens dit webinar bespreken we hoe The Share Council met gebruik van smart contracts, medewerkers eigenaar kan maken & hoe het verspreiden van eigenaarschap kan bijdragen aan:
• Het vergroten van loyaliteit & participatie van medewerkers
• Het vergroten van de stabiliteit van bedrijven
• Toenemende groei van bedrijven & het verkrijgen van extra financiële voordelen
