There needs to be steps taken in the direction of an international agreement, like the Geneva or apostille conventions, for the purpose of normalizing technology usage, built around a framework of something akin to a universal bill of rights.<p>Countries have been divided along stages of development. This has led many of the countries who've developed critical technologies to turn a blind in the name of a "wait and see" approach to regulation. On the other hand, many regions that have been historically important players, like the EU, have seen technological penetration both as a blessing and as a curse, like something that needs to be tamed and curbed.<p>The problem is we haven't seen anything big like this in age and it's frankly overdue. I think experts understand enough about how technology can and will be used to create a sensible reasonable framework that could be a level playing field that respects the rights of industry and consumers.<p>Anyways, I wish I could speak more about the specifics about what this would look like from my POV, but I'm actually more interested to hear from the audience. How would YOU go about creating some kind of international agreement that could bring about a single standard for technology? What areas would you include? What areas would you allow individual countries/territories to regulate? What would be the number one issue? How would non-signatories be treated?
