GAB Mission
A Forum for
Knowledge-Sharing and Learning
Blockchain tech evolves rapidly. Policymakers and corporate leaders seek reliable info beyond Bitcoin. Entrepreneurs need more accessible means to learn about blockchain’s true potential and viable use cases, to build and support platforms and business models that blockchain can engender. The INATBA GAB can play an important role in driving research opportunities and outreach activities in cooperation with the INATBA Academic Advisory Body.
A Forum for
Regulatory Dialogues
The GAB nurtures a constructive dialogue between public and private stakeholders, including government bodies and blockchain users/providers. The GAB plays an important role in helping clarify the legal and regulatory framework for blockchain across the GAB members, educating the respective bodies and authorities on the potential boundaries in innovation and market environment, and promoting a transparent and inclusive model of governance.
A Forum for
Education
Sharing best practices among GAB members is crucial to avoid duplicating efforts when deploying blockchain tech globally. Whether it’s for energy solutions, mobility and smart cities, digital currencies, or circular economy applications, policymakers and regulators should exchange experience to develop best practices for innovation and regulation. The GAB facilitates this informal information exchange under Chatham House Rule.
A Promoter of
Global Blockchain Convergence
The GAB promotes sound cooperation between international organisations and global standard-setting bodies together with INATBA’s Standardisation Committee. The GAB acts as an interlocutor for the Committee by acting as a sounding board for ongoing standardisation initiatives. The GAB helps develop common views on standards for blockchain that guide the Committee and the use of blockchain for the UN SDGs.
