Information Exchange

  • With her colleague Vint Cerf, Mei Lin would like us to focus on building resilient communities
  • Sudhir tells the need to focus on social KPIs including, how we have made impact, how many people have had their lives improved through for example healthcare information sharing. This would be needful beside just focusing on bandwidth and latency

Identification of common areas

  1. IEEE Social Impact - with KPI on HyperCatalog for commeasureability of different social impact measurement frameworks (registry of data sources, algorithms and logic models, and data usage principles) and e.g. addressing BasicInternet's Global Help Desk - not sure what this means
  2. World Data Labs - who focuses on equalization - should be visualization - of income and inequality
  3. Internet provision through InfoSpots in villages in RUrban areas of (smart cities)
