[Chapter-delegates] About Internet Everywhere (was On visual identity of FB pages)

[David Solomonoff]

I've wanted ISOC-NY to address this in terms of net-connected medical 
equipment for some time. I spoke to the Software Freedom Law Center who 
have been doing work on this as well as the head of the Occupation 
Therapy student group here at the State University of New York Downstate 
Medical Center. I need to follow up on this and make a date.

The solution in many cases is better security - although some military 
and law enforcement systems are completely isolated - this was discussed 
at INET Philly as you may recall.
