<div>Hi Glenn -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps we can talk about what IEEE is doing on the Humanitarian challenge side. And/or if you know if they can easily send experts to meetings should we have the need for that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I plan to start a development (Internet infrastructure thread) for Chapter Delegates – to hear what is important to chapters and to keep people informed). Would you (and others?) be interested in this type of thread?</div>
<div><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On yesterday's call one of the questions was by myself on the relationship of ISOC and IEEE and another was on Open Hardware</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, Sally didn't ask me for any clarification and she assumed only one very narrow track within IEEE</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since 2008 I have been working on the IEEE Toronto Chapter , Global Humanitarian Technology Challenge, IEEE SIGHT, IEEE Canada HIC and the International Humanitarian Technology Challenge </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All of these efforts have three main UN technology challenges </div>
<div>1. Reliable Electricity</div>
<div>2. Data Connectivity</div>
<div>3. Patient Records </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All using an Open Source and an Open Hardware approach which was the second person's question. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is details on the Open Source Design details which will be held at the Ottawa May 31st IHTC </div>
<div><br>
