 will serve as a “framework element of the world’s decentralized operating system,” according to Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin.
Speaking to Cointelegraph, EEA head Ron Resnick explained the importance of having a standardized architecture:
“Basically, this conceptual framework characterizes and standardizes all the components from the EEA Ethereum ecosystem, and it extends the concept in technologies from the public Ethereum as the part of our enterprise Ethereum spec. So it’s all the building blocks that we now organize in a framework, which creates an architecture that software programmers can build their solutions.”
Following the release of the EEAS will be a TestNet and a certification program that will allow a “higher level of confidence” for enterprise operations.
Resnick was appointed head of the EEA as its first executive director in January of this year, coming from a background of work in the telecommunications industry and the Airfuel Alliance. The alliance includes founding members JPMorgan and Santander, newer members like Mastercard, Intel and Microsoft, and a number of Ether investors and Blockchain startups.
Founding EEA member from Santander, heading Santander’s R&D for Innovation Initiatives as well as serving as chairman of the EEA, said in the press release sent to CT that “the Alliance’s mission from day one has been to build the framework that could be used to meet all the needs of its members.” Earlier this month, Santander partnered with Ripple to launch a blockchain payment network to cut down on cost and time associated with international transfers.
At the end of March, the China’s IT ministry released a document of objectives for development of the technology sector, including a recommendation for standards in blockchain architectures, “data format specification, interoperability, and smart contracts,” as well as the formation of international standards for blockchain tech.This will be the first stakeholder meeting in this respect.

The World’s Youngest Blogger: Is BHO A Reference To Dilbert’s Colleague Wally?

This month’s question: "Is the church driven by a Great Commission focus?" forces congregations to look at their global commitment.
Five times, Jesus expressed some form of the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-49, John 20:21, Acts 1:8).* It is Matthew’s account, however, that best describes our goal in fulfilling this commission: making disciples around the world who obediently follow Christ’s teachings..)
A brief look at these texts reveals several basic truths about the Great Commission:
* Christ is the authority who demands our obedience to the commission (Matt. 28:18, John 20:21.)
* Not only is Jesus the one who commissions us, he is the focus of our message; that is, the gospel is our message (Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-47.)
* Preaching, teaching, and baptizing are strategies employed to fulfill the commission (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:47.)
* The message we proclaim is for the world (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:27, Acts 1:8.)
* Christ promises us His power and His presence as we strive to fulfill the commission (Matt. 28:20, Luke 24:49, John 20:22, Acts 1:8.) We never accomplish the Great Commission alone.
Clearly, preaching the gospel and making disciples of people groups worldwide mattered to Jesus—so these tasks must concern churches today. Regrettably, many have become so inwardly focused that church is more about protecting the status quo than about reaching out beyond themselves. As a consultant, you will want to help a church evaluate its global focus and re-direct its attention as needed. These steps may help you to do that.
1. Ask the pastor to describe his personal passion for global missions.
Where the pastor is not committed to reaching the world, the church is unlikely to be that concerned. I will sometimes ask the pastor if he has led or participated in an international missions trip within the last five years. If not—and there are seemingly no obvious limitations to doing so—I wonder about the strength of his commitment to the Great Commission.
2. Check the church’s budget for a line item committed to missions.
Here, your analysis should include two facets. First, find out how much money the church sends to missions causes. Then, interview church members to determine whether they realize that the church supports missions through offerings. Giving dollars is important, but churches aren’t globally-minded if individual members lack a heartfelt desire to reach the world.
3. Determine if the church has sent a missions team to any place in the world in the last two years.
One of the best ways to increase a church’s passion for the Great Commission is to send members on a mission trip. When they return and relate their experiences, other members often find it hard to remain unconcerned. Missions fervor is infectious.
4. Ask when a "real live missionary" last spoke to the church.
The face of missions is most often the person on the field; the fuel of missions stems
