I want to avoid entangling it with the more near-term DC3 issues so maybe we should have a separate discussion. A start would be to get a better sense of what doesn’t make sense to people about what I’m saying. I’m also working on leveraging the “toy story” from my talks as a way to force the issue away from the telecom framing.

April 20? I need to learn more ASAP because I was about to sign up for an event in California April 19-21st that has a deadline of today. But from my experience these events are set pieces rather than places to effect real change. And given the current policy climate …
I see some of the usual suspects on the list from last year – is it a good opportunity for effective hall conversations? It’s really about the networking and conversations rather than the presentations. That’s what made IGF so valuable – meeting the others on this list.
I have toyed with working with ISOC on organizing a workshop on connectivity as infrastructure but not sure if I can do any better. Having real deployments speaks a lot louder.

Hi Michael,
This email was for last years event. The IEEE and the world bank hold this event twice a year timed with the fall and spring world bank/imf meetings. This year the meetings are April 20. I do not think the announcement is out yet about the April meeting. I will be attending. I have attended the two previous events
Best,

Hi everyone,
Is anyone planning on attending this (including you Bob)? It might be a good networking/outreach activity:
IEEE, in conjunction with the World Bank, will be holding the Global Connect Stakeholders: Advancing Solutions event in Washington, DC, on 13-14 April
Best,
-Michael
