People Centered Internet: March 31st 2016 Tech Gathering in Palo Alto. Organizers: Vint Cerf (Meeting Chair), Gary Bolles, John Ryan, and Mei Lin Fung. [1]


Key takeaways 

1. Focus more on people centricity – how do our actions affect outcomes for people?

2. We need to give the people at the grassroots, the means to make their own choices

3. There is power in the private sector – we can do more to enable it

 

Next Steps

  • IEEE-World Bank meeting April 13 (first of 10 meetings planned through 2020)
  • Secretary Kerry convening Finance Ministers Meeting April 14
  • Reconvene Tech Community in May 2016 – People Centered Internet follow through


3 Recommendations for IEEE-World Bank April 13 Workshop

How can we set up a roadmap…

1. For a holistic approach to invest in improving people’s lives involving the Internet?

2. To ensure Universal Access?

3. To empower people to solve on a small scale, and network to spread for global impact?
