<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">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.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">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?<br>

Hi TC folk,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I mentioned a gent I had met recently on a Zoom
discussion that I was invited to. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">His name is Peter McKinnon, bio is attached.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It was the discussion where somebody floated the
notion of a Charter challenge to address Canada's growing
disparities in connectivity. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Peter just invited me to an upcoming free IEEE
webinar that he’ll be delivering on the topic of Smart Cities:</div>

moz-do-not-send="true">https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/274444</a></div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>I asked Peter if I could share the invitation, and he
encouraged me to do so.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>It might be valuable for TC to confer and perhaps
collaborate with Peter and his associates going forward. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>I'll engage him with this idea at the earliest suitable
opportunity.</div>
