[arch-d] The Internet Architecture for Pandemics/Emergencies/Crises

Dear John Day, Toerless,
S. Moonesamy, John Levine &
architecture-discuss,

Those the ISOC-sponsored organizations will perhaps be at field together
with this UN-sponsored initiative --especially with people of
"communication and management"-- to work on the Internet (architecture--if
there are emergencies)-related problems:

Volunteers for Novel Coronavirus (Covid 19) Pandemic Response

https://www.unv.org/Volunteers-for-Novel-Coronavirus-COVID-
19-pandemic-response

This page said among others on how the pandemic affected essential public
services: a matter of which it is perhaps about the Internet deployments..?

NOTE:

Critical points of the news blog "What Does A Global Pandemic Means for the
Internet?" I referred to at the previous message:

"The Internet has long been a connector beyond the physical. Now, it’s the
only reason people are able to see their faraway loved ones and complete
remote projects with their coworkers amid pandemic-prompted social
distancing. It’s a great moment for the technology...":

- the Internet access at home.

- a secure way to communicate....

- innovative ways using the Internet to communicate: people are realizing
the importance of the Internet

- funds for broadband infrastructures

- engineering networks

- traffic, platform, infrastructure

- cybersecurity: platforms and services, privacy, phishing attack/malware

- we are learning

Regard,
Guntur Wiseno Putra
