Having participated in the IEEE Volunteer Leadership Training (VLT) was a great experience. The program was comprised from more than 20 sessions, covering IEEE Bylaws, Publications, Affinity Groups, Educational Activities, MGA and other relevant topics.
In a class with 32 graduates from 19 countries across all continents was a unique opportunity to make new friends!
Special thanks for running the program has to go to Maria Schneider, Cheryl Sinauskas, Loretta Arellano (Chair), Scott Tamashiro, and Ali Abedi

A few impressions from the IEEE Summit on Internet Governance. Simon Pugh attended as photographer and published more impressions at Flickr.
Videos of the event are available at the website. Twitter has the event under #ieeeigsummit.
At the end of the panel on the future of Internet Governance, asked for a perspective, Mark Raymond summed up the perspective ahead: “A long string of innovative and surprising ways to fail.”.

And it underlines the importance of bringing together policy makers with academia and industry, to have an unbiased, open discussion. IEEE is the right platform to add unbiased, technical expertise to such discussions.
