[Advisors] Fwd: IEEE Smart Cities etc

[Marita Moll]

Wow, thanks James. This is an amazing bio (Peter MacKinnon) -- clearly 
someone who has been deeply involved with the Canadian scene re: 
internet development from the beginning -- but never on my radar -- so 
clearly other circles. I wonder if Garth knows of him through previous 
government and other connections.

This would have been an interesting meeting. I was, however, out 
exploring some of our national parks out west -- so not possible on my 
end. Did you attend? Any thoughts to share? Did the charter challenge 
idea go anywhere?
