Ignite Presentations and Keynote Topic
Two key issues to be discussed at the meeting are the Keynote address topic and presenter, and topics and presenters for our ignite presentations. In case you don’t know what Ignite presentations are, speakers will have no more than 5 minutes, and must use 20 slides with each slide advancing automatically after 15 seconds, forcing them to get the point, fast. For most speakers having slides that automate forces them to be far more concise and thoughtful than they would in any other format. If you have suggestions for Ignite topics or presenters please send them to me before the meeting so we can expedite the decisions.

Roundtable Updates and Tentative Agenda
Updates
- Still no venue. I have calls into several venues but have not heard back from them
- I am in the process of creating a web site for the Roundtable. Still a work in progress. See site here Roundtable Web Site Link
- Partnership Requests: I have created a Partnership Request Document for government, education and non profit partnerships. You can download it on this page. I have also created a Roundtable Partnership Page. Please note that I am assuming that all of you participating on the Leadership Team are planning to be Partners. This is not a request for funding. No cash contribution is required, although a paid sponsorship will be welcome. Please go to this page to confirm your partnership. You will find a Google Doc embedded at the end of that page. Please confirm ASAP. It will take just 2 minutes. I will also be sending you a separate email request.
- Sponsor Requests: I have also created a Sponsorship Request Document. You can download it on this page. I have also created a Roundtable Sponsorship Page. For those of you representing telecom or technology companies and may be interested in sponsorship, you can find details and sign-up on that page. Again you will also receive a request directly to you.
- Keynote (Topic and Presenter TBD): A nationally recognized leader to speak about vision, policies, strategies, and best practices to enable Arizona to provide equitable, affordable, and reliable broadband to all communities in the state
- Mala has tentatively confirmed Tom Wheeler to provide a 20 minute video Keynote. He was was the 31st Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. See his bio here
- Federal Updates - Video Conference. Mala has also confirmed John Windhausen Executive Director of SHLB, Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition to discuss broadband for rural community anchor institutions
- Mala is also exploring the feasibility of providing Tom Wheeler's book, possibly for free, to maybe the first 50 Roundtable registrants.
