[image: ISOC Live] <https://isoc.live/17910%20>From *May 17 to May 20 2024* the *Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers <https://www.ieee.org/> *(IEEE) in collaboration with *People Centered Internet <https://peoplecentered.net/>* (PCI) is holding three events that will celebrate three ‘Milestones’ in the development of the Internet. The first Milestone celebrates the 50th anniversary of publication of an IEEE technical paper describing TCP, a key component enabling the Internet’s reliability. The second Milestone is for the IEEE 802 Standards Committee, which manages the rules by which Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and multiple wireless specialty networks (e.g., CCC, CSA, FIRa, Wi-SUN, Thread Group) operate. The third Milestone is for the PageRank Algorithm and the Birth of Google. *WEBCASTS* *[image: The Office of the Future: 3 IEEE Milestones] <https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/office_of_the_future>Fri, May 17, 3pm-5pm PT (22:00-00:00 UTC) – The Office of the Future: 3 IEEE Milestones Honoring SRI and Its Xerox PARC Heritage* *Vint Cerf*, Vice President / Chief Internet Evangelist, Google *Bob Metcalfe*, Co-designer of Ethernet at Xerox PARC; the “Father” of Ethernet *Tom Coughlin*, President, IEEE *Brian Berg*, Vice Chair, IEEE History Committee Host: *Dr. David Parekh*, CEO, SRI https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/office_of_the_future *[image: A Celebration of 50 Years of the Internet] <https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/i50>Sun, May 19, 12 Noon – 3:15pm PT (19:00-21:15 UTC) – A Celebration of 50 Years of the Internet* *12:00 PDT / 19:00 UTC – Opening Remarks* *Mei Lin Fung*, Co-chair & Co-founder | People Centered Internet *Thomas Coughlin*, President, IEEE *12:10 PDT / 19:10 UTC – TCP and the Internet – Origins and Subsequent Impact* *Vint Cerf*, Vice President, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google *Bob Kahn*, Chair and CEO, Corporation for National Research Initiatives *Judy Estrin*, CEO, JLabs *John Shoch*, Office Systems Division President, Xerox PARC *12:35 PDT / 19:35 UTC – Internet and Beyond – Internet Society & Internet Engineering Task Force* *Sally Wentworth*, Managing Director, The Internet Society *12:50 PDT / 19:50 UTC – The People-Centered Digital Future Countries are Building* Moderatior: *David Kirkpatrick*, Senior Fellow, People Centered Internet *Sanjay Jain*, Director, Digital Public Infrastructure, Gates Foundation *Pramod Varma*, Architect of India Digital Public Infrastructure, Aadhar, UPI, ONDC *13:20 PDT / 20:20 UTC – Digital Transformation and Ancestral Intelligence in the Era of AI* The Honorable *Kyriakos Mitsotakis*, Prime Minister, Greece *Konstantinos Karachalios*, former Managing Director, IEEE Standards Association *13:55 PDT / 20:55 UTC – Panel Session – How Can We Ensure AI Serves Everyone, Everywhere?* Moderator: *Kate Wilson*, Senior Fellow, People Centered Internet *Anir Chowdhury*, Policy Advisor, a2i, ICT Division/Cabinet Division/UNDP Bangladesh *Fei Fei Li*, Co-Director, Stanford’s Institute for Human Centered AI *Keith Strier*, VP, Worldwide AI, NVIDIA; US National AI Advisory Council *14:25 PDT / 21:25 UTC Illumination and Communication: Advancing Human-Centric Technology* *Sophie Muirhead,* IEEE Executive Director & COO *14:35 PDT / 21:35 UTC IEEE 802 Standards Committee – Panel Session* *Tuncer Baykas*, Moderator (IEEE 802.19 Working Group Chair) *Jyotika Athavale*, IEEE Computer Society President *Maris Graube*, Originator of the IEEE 802 Standards Committee *Geoff Thompson*, Initiator of the IEEE 802 Standards Committee Milestone, Past Chair 802.3 Working Group *James Gilb*, IEEE 802 Executive Committee Chair *Robert Stacey*, IEEE 802.11 Working Group Chair *Clint Powell*, IEEE 802.15 Working Group Chair *15:05 PDT / 22:05 UTC – Closing Reflections* *Mei Lin Fung*, Chair, Co-chair & Co-founder | People Centered Internet *Bob Metcalfe*, Co-designer of Ethernet at Xerox PARC; the “Father” of Ethernet *https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/i50 <https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/i50>* *[image: IEEE Milestone Celebration: TCP, 802 Standards, and Google] <https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/milestone-tcp-802-Google>Mon, May 20, 1pm-4pm PT (20:00-23:00 UTC) – IEEE Milestone Celebration: TCP, 802 Standards, and Google* *Vint Cerf*, Vice President / Chief Internet Evangelist, Google *Bob Metcalfe*, Co-designer of Ethernet at Xerox PARC; the “Father” of Ethernet Distinguished researchers and scientists from Google *https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/milestone-tcp-802-Google <https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/milestone-tcp-802-Google>* *TWITTER #PeopleCentered #DigitalFuture #IEEEi50 <https://bit.ly/4bpoAms> #IEEEMilestone #IEEE* *PCI Press Release https://bit.ly/3UDQ1BG <https://bit.ly/3UDQ1BG>* *IEEE Press Release https://bit.ly/4bFCtN9 <https://bit.ly/4bFCtN9>* - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
