So that people and families may thrive in countries around the world, what insights  do you have for partnerships that the People-Centered Internet might engage with? [1]

• The people-centered internet effort needs to focus on how technology actually changes people’s lives - how we positively impact people.

• The example of the 1 clinic and physician - and a social worker - for every 150 families in Cuba – it is about prevention and simplicity (keep it simple).

• Journalism needs to move away from working in silos and needs to work across sectors and silos, to better reflect what goes on in a society.

• Who writes the policy matters - everyone is involved in the writing – yet when it comes to implementation it is left up to the government, and all of the policy writers disappear. We need to find ways of keeping the policy writers involved in the implementation of that policy.

• Very often the policy and strategies are at the national level - we need more of a focus on metropolitan and local levels.

• We need to ask the end user about the purpose of what we are trying to do before we talk about solutions.

• We need to practice a reverse mentoring process where the youth come in and teach us about what is going on with their lives - with technology - to acknowledge them.

• The role of NGOs is critical in the development of policies - practices - and the evolution of the internet..
