 Hi Glenn -
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.
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?

Hi All
On yesterday's  call  one of the questions  was by myself on the relationship of  ISOC and IEEE and another was on  Open Hardware
Unfortunately,  Sally didn't ask me for any clarification and she assumed only one very narrow  track within IEEE
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 
All of these efforts  have three  main UN  technology challenges  1.  Reliable  Electricity2. Data  Connectivity3.  Patient Records 
All using an Open Source and an Open Hardware  approach which was the  second person's  question.   
Here is  details on the Open Source  Design details  which will be  held at the Ottawa  May 31st   IHTC

If anyone is  interested in these  topics  please contact me
Glenn
