A bunch of Geeks with Policy experience got together and...

Our passion and experience is in Technology in its various forms. Understanding how Tech and Public Policy go together is another one. One thing we've realized through the years is that any new technology that in introduced to the world at large usually catches Governments, Policy and/ or Regulatory bodies on the backfoot, and then there's a race against time to ensure that new legislation, regulation or controlling/ prevailing policies are introduced or updated to ensure that the legal verbiage and enforcement mechanisms fall in place.

Too often, this is too little too late.

The other end of the spectrum is that at times we've seen legislation/ regulation that is worded in a fairly myopic manner without consulting various stakeholders on what would be an acceptable middle ground or a MVP to move ahead, and ensure that the proposed legislation/ regulation does not stifle innovation, at the expense of a knowledge deficit that may exist with the people who framed the rules in the first place.

And in some cases, people just get confused with what they want to convey and make rules that just don't make sense

Ideal outcomes that we wish to achieve through this site via the various articles/ whitepapers and blogs we will be posting is to try and advocate for a plausible right way forward in terms of Regulation/ Legislation that may affect Technology and Innovation in a positive manner, while not stifling innovation and denying the potential benefits that could possible accrue to the populace at large.
