I’m pleased to announce the first ENS community-sponsored workshop, which will be held at King’s College London on August 11–13.

Participants will explore what can be learned from the soft launch process, discuss future community plans for the Ethereum Name Service, and begin laying the groundwork for a permanent registrar. Issues to be discussed include:

How name registration should function in the permanent registrar.

Fee schedules and incentivisation for the permanent registrar.

Whether the permanent registrar should feature any kind of dispute resolution mechanism, and if so, how it can function.

Possible changes to the root multisig.

Integration of ENS with the traditional DNS hierarchy.

It is a community workshop and attendance is free on invitation, although there are some space restrictions. To apply to attend, email Nick Johnson (arachnid@notdot.net).
