This is a discussion concerning Policy, and in our meetings we have found it necessary to steer the discussions as global, apolitical and generic. This Roundtable conversation is relatively informal, but to add value, we have invited the Internet Society President and CEO Andrew Sullivan to talk to us at the beginning of the meeting for a few minutes - "Internet Society President on the Internet", and towards the end, the Senior Vice President for Internet Growth, Jane Coffin would talk to us about the trend successfully emerging worldwide on Connectivity technologies - "Community Networks", which are city wide Internet Access networks, many with Internet Radio. We also have with us Internet Community and ISOC Chapter leaders including Wolfgang Kleinwaechter, Yrjo Lansipuro, Olivier Crepin-Leblond, Joly MacFie and Sebastien Bachollet, Business leaders from TiE Chennai, India and many from India and around the world. 


Please join the conversation.



Thank you.

Internet DURING a shut-down" : Do we need 'more' Internet?

With factories, offices, public places, shops, transportation and schools shut down for 3 weeks, and another week or so for normal life to resume, it is the Internet that could make life go on. While it is necessary to keep an eye on fake news and the dangers of fake news causing panic, it is equally important to keep the Internet open, with a heightened awareness that everyone needs the Internet, even to seek medical help, and more to preserve mass psychological well being. 

Please join us at this Internet Society India Chennai  (ALS) Virtual Roundtable on 26th March, Thursday, 13.30 - 15.00 UTC on this topic
