I’m active with the IEEE (board of governors of the consumer electronics society) but the organization is struggling to get past it’s hardware orientation. It is very difficult to get the traditional players to think of the Internet as anything but another telecommunications service. I failed with this IEEE initiative. You can get a sense of this in the enthusiasm for 5G (http://spectrum.ieee.org/video/telecom/wireless/everything-you-need-to-know-about-5g) vs what I wrote after CES (http://rmf.vc/5GATSC).
The Internet as a byproduct of software and as infrastructure is a very different framing. It would be good if the IMF could understand that and if you have suggestions for how to be heard I’m open to suggestions.

HI Bob,
Historically the IEEE event is held one day before the Fall/spring World Bank/IMF meetings since the meetings are April 21-23 that leads me to think the IEEE meeting is on April 20, but best is to ask the IEEE.
It is also likely that the Fall meeting will be on October 12 since the Fall meetings are on October 13-15 2017
Best,
Judith
