Thanks. It is a challenge to get people to think outside the idea of the Internet as
something that flows through pipes. I appreciate any suggestions into how to better
explain the concepts. I’m working on any essay now that positions the Internet as
byproduct of a fundamental conceptual shift (or, if you wish, paradigm)

I really liked your post, Bob, specifically this line:
"We’re accustomed to thinking of networking as a service and networks as physical
things like railroads with well-defined tracks. The Internet is more like the road system
that emerges from the way we use any path available. We aren’t even confined to roads
thanks to our ability to buy our own off-road vehicles. There is no physical network as
such but rather disparate transports for raw packets which make no promises other than a
best effort to transport packets."
Thanks for sharing!
Best,
-Michael

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…) 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

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,
Judith

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
