Greetings, all,

The Plenary Session at IETF 100 in Singapore  (Wednesday, 15 November 2017, 17:10-19:40 Singapore time (UTC + 8)) includes a panel discussion, entitled:

The Internet, a look forward: Social, political, and technical perspectives

Adding a digit to count IETF meetings invites introspection and prognostication. For the IETF100 Plenary, three prominent strategists will share their unique perspectives on what the Internet will look like in thirty years. They will consider how the Internet’s influence on our lives and social systems will change, and how our influence on the Internet will also change, socially, politically, and technically.

I'll moderate the panel; the panelists include:

- Monique Morrow, President and Co-Founder of the Humanized Internet, a non-profit organization focused on providing digital identity for those individuals most under-served

- Jun Murai, Professor at Keio University with a research focus in global computer networking and communication, and known as the "Father of Japan’s Internet"

- Henning Schulzrinne, Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and chair of the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University, New York

The plenary will also include presentation of the Internet Society Jonathan B. Postel Service Award.

Cheers,

Brian (for the IAB and the Technical Plenary Planning Program)
