NOTICE OF DRAFT RECORD - EC-BSG CONSTRUCTION MTG C1 Hi Everyone - this is Notice of the Draft Minutes for the meeting C1 to review a possible Biogas Pilot project for the Refugee Sanitation submission to the "Blockchains for Social Good [BSG]" Challenge EVENT: EC-BSG Construction REF:UNCCAMn1 TOPIC: Management - Can Innner West Sydney submit a suitable project to the "Blockchains for Social Good" Challenge? DATE: Fri 07 Jun 2019 TIME: 14:00 - 15:00 VENUE: La Giara Cafe E:info@lagiara.com.au The Italian Forum F:{61}(2) 9518-3454 LEICHHARDT 2040 P:{61}(2) 9518-3455 THEME: Review European Commission "Blockchains for Social Good" Challenge AGENDA: A 14:00-14:15 - Initial Review EC - "BSG" Challenge & CSIRO-Data61/ACS Blockchain 2030 B 14:15-14:30 - Introduction of each persons skills and background C 14:30-14:45 - Review Biogas Project Management Issues D 14:45-15:00 - Review Blockchain Project Management Issues W Action Items Z Next Meeting Fri 14 Jun 2019 14:00 - 15:00 ATTENDEES: Chair: Nicola PISACANE [NCP] Andrew TATAR [ATT] Sec: Stephen GOULD [SGG] On-line Contacts Initial Review EC - "BSG" Challenge & CSIRO-Data61/ACS Blockchain 2030 SGG said this meeting had been arranged following a 2018 research project on Refugee Sanitation in Zambia and the responses by NCP about Biogas Digesters as a possible solution In May 2018 The European Commission released a "Blockchains for Social Good [BSG]" Challenge with the 5 prizes of Euro 1 Million which can be reviewed here In Apr 2019 the CSIRO-Data61 and the Australian Computer Society [ACS] published "Blockchains 2030 - A look at the Future of Blockchain in Australia" This document included the need to raise awareness of Blockchain in the Community Including P54 which states ": "Community leaders and end users would benefit from basic 'blockchain literacy', or even a broader understanding of what the technology is and how it works. Growing the ICT talent pool in Australia may involve a combination of strategies focused on education and training (e.g. developing new course offerings that assist existing workers transition to the emerging blockchain industry) and migration policies (e.g. incentives designed to attract global talent)". SGG said this is how the Inner West Council may be interested in supporting this project if we can also show how we can re-vitalise the Italian Forum to become a "Blockchain Hub" B 14:15-14:30 - Background to attendees NCP provided his background with his Tertiary courses including Advanced Civil Construction, Electrical Engineering and Project Management as well as multiple High Risk Trade Licenses ATT provided his background of working on a number of degrees in the Arts, Law, Science and Technology and now wants to get involved in Community projects SGG explained his background in CIT and work with the eCommerce since 1987, the Open Interchange Consortium [OIC] since 1994 and the Sustainability Action Network [SAN] since 2007 C 14:30-14:45 - Review Biogas Project Management Issues NCP had prepared a number of documents on Biogas issues for the meeting to consider including a An explanation of Biogas b Biogas qualifies for Renewable Energy Subsidies c Biogas Composition Assessments d Costs of Biogas Digesters and Scrubbers e Implementation Costs to install Biogas equipment f Maintenance costs for Biogas equipment NCP said he believed current Biogas Scrubber Equipment had limitations which would be identified in the prototype project The meeting agreed that this documentation was a useful base for further consideration D 14:45-15:00 - Review Blockchain Project Management Issues The meeting reviewed 3 recent articles on "Blockchain Project Management" with extracts from the articles: A 2018-09-07 AFR Blockchain to form 'contracts on steroids" B 2018-08-29 AFR HSF lawyers joins forces with IBM & Data61 for blockchain project C 2017-06-07 AFR Data61 reports blockchain will have profound impact on economy A 2018-09-07 Blockchain to form 'contracts on steroids" AFR 07 Sep 2018 Herbert Smith Freehills and King & Wood Mallesons have taken the lead to create the Australian National Blockchain [ANB], alongside data engineering group Data61, part of the CSIRO and global technology giant IBM It will become a piece of national infrastructure, providing a platform for businesses looking to use "smart contracts", or business rules embedded into code. The system will go into a pilot in the coming months, and it is expected other law firms will join. "A contract is turning from a piece of paper into piece of software," said Natasha Blycha, the blockchain and smart legal contract lead at Herbert Smith Freehills. "But if a contract is software, it also needs an ecosystem to run in." By coding the clauses and running them on a blockchain, agreements can be turned into something that can keep track of obligations in real time, and feed information back to lawyers and clients during the life of the contract. "We can create a contract on steroids to give clients new commercial opportunities," Ms Blycha said. An example of a contract that could operate on the Australian National Blockchain would be a logistics agreement governing a supply chain; sensors attached to the internet of things could provide data on location or the condition of goods, and the contract could be programmed to self-execute when specified contract conditions are met. B 2018-08-29 Herbert Smith Freehills joins forces with IBM and Data61 for blockchain project Leading law firm Herbert Smith Freehills has teamed up with the CSIRO's Data61 and tech giant IBM to create Australia's first cross-industry, large-scale blockchain. "Blockchain will be to transactions what the internet was to communication - what starts as a tool for sharing information becomes transformational once adoption is widespread," said Paul Hutchison, IBM global business services vice-president C 2017-06-07 Data61 reports blockchain will have a profound impact on the economy A scientific study of blockchain by the CSIRO's specialist Data61 unit has found the management of supply chains, including trade finance and insurance, as a "highly promising" use case for the emerging technology, which will enhance productivity across the agriculture, banking, healthcare, logistics and public sectors and help business and government manage the deluge of data about to be unleashed by the internet of things. Data61's reports are the product of almost a year's work and received input from government and industry, after being commissioned in the 2016 federal budget by Treasurer Scott Morrison. Australia is already a leader in the development of blockchain, Mr Morrison said on Tuesday, imploring companies and the bureaucracy to use the reports for "guidance on how they can accelerate their take up of blockchain technology". The reports demonstrate the "profound impact" blockchain will have on "delivering significant productivity, security and efficiency gains" for the Australian economy, he added. Blockchain, or distributed ledger technology, refers to databases that record transactions but are not owned by any central party; rather, they are distributed to a collective. Information automatically synchronised and is secured by cryptography. The ledger is immutable, protecting against fraud. Blockchains also use "smart contracts", which can automatically execute business logic or parts of legal agreements. The technology establishes a fact at a point in time, which can then be trusted by others. It also provides more efficient data sharing. Blockchain could allow for the creation of "programmable money", verify digital identity, facilitate markets and manage corporate actions, Data61 said. For governments, it could help manage data sets, provide grants and social security, and automate tax collection. The report includes detailed case studies on how blockchain could be applied in trade finance, government data registries and international remittance payments".
