[Advisors] connections with relevant groups in the U.S.

[Marita Moll]

Colleagues, there is a large group in the U.S. call the National Digital 
Inclusion Alliance (https://www.digitalinclusion.org/ ). Do we have 
anyone in our group who is connected with the NDIA ? There are certainly 
common concerns.

There is also a large academic group call Partnership for Progress on 
the Digital Divide (www.ppdd.org/ ) which has been holding an 2019 
International Conference in Washington, DC  over the last 3 days. I see 
Richard Smith from Simon Fraser is involved with this group. I was just 
listening to Vint Cerf speaking about different ways to deliver internet 
services. https://livestream.com/internetsociety/ppdd2019

<https://livestream.com/internetsociety/ppdd2019>I am not at the 
conference but posting info about TC on the chat site. We should seek 
connections with both of these groups, I think. So, I am asking -- is 
anyone here already connected in any way with either of these groups.

Marita
