That’s a rather peculiar line of reasoning from the UK representative: since the crypto bros are throwing money at Web 3.0, we should apparently respond by wedging “the blockchains naming spaces” into the DNS root. #IGF2025

Jorge Cancio is right. The issue isn’t so much the split of participants into tracks but the absence of joint sessions between those. IGF could look at ICANN to see how to do it. #IGF2025
