Welcome. This is Jenkins documentation office hours. It is the 11th of March. Thanks for being here. So here are the topics that were on my list contributing to user experience was a question that's enough wanted to address the Sheikot Africa contribute on more details on it. I've got one action. The developers list. The website search was a topic we have last time I'd like to review it again. I don't have anything to say on Docs roadmap inventory and Docs structure, or the other topics that I have listed there so I'm going to just take those out. Any new topics that you'd like to add Zenab or Kristen any topics you'd like to add. None for me. Okay. All right, so then contributing to user experience so Zenab you'd asked about the, are there ways that contributors there from Sheikot Africa or elsewhere could contribute. So here is the user experience page and in particular down at the bottom of the page are the meeting agendas where you can see the notes from the meetings that have occurred in the past and commonly they also include a recording. So if they would like to see what kinds of topics the UX SIG discusses they can go and review the recordings and see oh okay this is what they're talking about then this and then this. I think has been the primary driver of a major enhancement that just arrived in Jenkins long term support that Jenkins long term support release just delivered this thing that includes the configuration for modernization all about the UI and it was took a long time to get it there and it's now shipping and has migration guides and hints so all sorts of cool things there. Uh huh, you bet. So recordings and and notes available from the page. Next topic was contribute on so we've discussed it in discussed in outreach SIG. Doc SIG and elsewhere and as far as I can tell we have agreement so cloud these plans to sponsor. I heard today that CDF is sponsoring as well CDF has actually send the phones. Good and and forms coming soon for the for the sponsorship from cloudbies I talked to Selena Glawick this morning. So so that's that's good. If you don't see those forms within say 24 hours. Zina please reach out to me. All right. Another candidate sponsor Broadcom. The question has been asked to their team but they haven't yet given an answer back to the to the Broadcom employee that I interact with so we've got hopes for others. Good luck on your recruiting. Thank you. Thank you so much. So, in the outreach SIG today, it was also reviewed and agreed on a proposed project idea, or at least the project idea was discussed. And, and so I can, I could talk briefly about that if that will help but that will be part of our submission. I have the responsibility to submit the organization. The mentoring organization application. So I'll do that. So that you should have that within 48 hours. Thank you. And the suggestion today was hey announce it to the developers list so I will do that as well. That's to encourage additional mentors. And Kristen Kristen is already agreed to be a mentor. It's nice to have. And make McRoberts has agreed to assist as well she's a training, a training author. And her work schedule is such that her work and personal schedule is such that she'll be available. Africa early morning hours. And Kristen and I are available Africa after working hours after you know so this time and a little earlier. So, I feel like we've, we're going in the right direction. And we'll keep you up to date as we go further. So, and yes I've still got this action item for the project ideas. If that the answers out there, in terms of computing resources, the project, whoops, the project ideas after the project idea that I'm working on needs a computer that can, that can compile Java. So that could be Windows, could be Linux, or Mac OS, or free BSD, or open BSD, those I know all work. And in terms of popularity I suspect Windows is the most popular there. They'll need to run Jenkins, which means they'll probably need, and need to experience it so likely think two to four gigabytes of memory. And you had said earlier that we need to put that into the application that's still correct right. Yes. Okay, good. Right. And required skills. Yes, I think we've got that. So any other any other questions from using up or you Kristen on she called Africa and the contributon. None for me. None for me either. Okay. Oh, sorry, I just thought of something. So, for the project ideas that Jenkins is submitting. I don't know, like how many, you know, I said, I mentioned earlier that form can take in three projects ideas. So my question is, first, how many projects ideas is Jenkins intending to submit. And secondly, say for instance, if you submit three project ideas, would Jenkins be able to handle it if she could accept all the project ideas or just one of them. Good question. And so that that's a, I'll describe what I think is going to happen it will depend on the response from the developer mailing list if we do more than that. So what I'm envisioning is we would, and I'm going to bring up my notes actually from the Jenkins outreach meeting because inside those notes, we've got a description of the project that way I don't have to retype it so just a minute while I go grab those notes. Okay. There it is. Okay, good. Yeah. So here come the agenda. Perfect. All right. So on my screen. And this meeting was also recorded so if there's any question we can always go back and look at the notes but here's what I had proposed so the project idea is that we will take pipelining, ask the, the people of the women there and sponsored by Sheikot Africa to create pipeline examples and pipeline help for popular Jenkins plugins in their use in pipeline. What that will do is give them direct experience creating pipelines and Jenkins, they may have previous no experience with Jenkins and so this will introduce them to Jenkins and what's a pipeline and how do you and then, then they will use those compile one or more of the plugins and use that then to write help that goes inside this plugin and therefore requires that they modify the plugin source code that they recompile it they tested inside Jenkins and then submit a pull request to that plugins repository to have that change included. That will give us examples in the pipeline step for steps reference it will give them the opportunity to have done Java compilation and to explore what it means to interact with Jenkins. The idea was we would put up to three of your contributors on the same project idea so that they could work together because this is, there are many, many places that need this. We think we could have me and Kristen and Meg coaching this group of three on this project idea. So that you've got three people assigned to the same concept but working in different specific plugins to achieve the objective. Now this is the first time Kristen seen this idea as well so Kristen you're welcome to object or say that's crazy Mark what were you thinking. I kind of like the idea of getting people having people work together but I don't know if that's like kind of what the project goals are. Because I know that for like Google summer code they're like you can't really have people working together but I mean that's software development right like we're supposed to collaborate. Usually not just a person working on their own. So I kind of like that idea of just working as a team. I think that some of the documentation can definitely be fixed for the, for the plugins but it's mostly and getting some examples would be very good I think that maybe they can even, there might even be a chance to update some of this like just or just to go through and make sure the pipeline documentation in general is okay. That's fine but there's definitely some examples of things like, I mean I had a question about like what you can do a certain library or like you're using a common library and I couldn't really find a good answer in the documentation. So like for example that's maybe some extra stuff we can add. So, I like it. Okay. All right so I'm at all I'm going to do is I'm going to copy this and paste it in here so that we've got it. Okay. So, you know, I think Kristen asked a very good question. Is it within the rules is within the boundaries of the Sheikot Africa contributon. If we put three people together on a on a single project idea, even knowing that each of them will have a dependent task they actually won't be dependent on one another. The thought was they, they however have the same general steps each will need to take as they achieve their as they accomplish their tasks, and therefore they'll be able to help each other. As they bump into problems or say oh I had this problem this thing would not behave the way I wanted, hoping that they can help one another in addition to getting help from the mentors. Yeah, so it's okay if you have more than one person working on one project idea, as long as they have distinct tasks, as you just mentioned, because you know at the end of the whole boot camp in April, you will be required to grade each of these participants individually, not by the project idea. It's important that, despite the fact that they are working on the same project idea you're able to access to assess each of them individually and their performance individually assess their performance individually, so you can grade them at the end of the day. Okay, well and, and my thought in terms of the individual I, I know. So this one right here the pipeline examples and pipeline help. I have lots of feedback in the documentation feedback, complaining about the absence of examples in very specific plugins where they say this plug in needs an example and this one does. My thought was since someone said that I could easily assemble a list of 10 or 15 or 20 plugins where these plugins have specifically been requested to have examples added. And if each of them took five, they would have independent tasks that are similar tasks but independent of each other. Yeah, that sounds great. Okay, good. Right. Now, in terms of getting them started with Jenkins because part of this will be, they'll have to get started with Jenkins right where I'm going to assume that most of them probably haven't used Jenkins before. And so I would assume we give them an introductory kit which says, please do this tutorial, please do this tutorial. Please try this experience. And when you've done those that will sign off check on that that part of it. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good. Okay, great. All right, so that and I think that's part of the application process then so I'm expecting within the next 48 hours or so to have that ready to submit. Okay. Right. Now, one of the things that was asked in the advocacy session was, are there other. Are there other projects that we should be mentioning this to and I don't know a different topic. Okay. So, we'll we'll continue on this path. Any, any other guidance you want to give there's enough. No, I think that's it for me. But if you have any question you could always send me an email now reply. Excellent. All right, thank you. So the other topic I had was site search. I don't know if this is particularly relevant but for me it's been an interesting adventure. And I'd love to show it and talk about it and then we could decide if it's something we need to do, do further on here as a office hours but are there other topics you'd like to bring that have come to mind Zina. No. Okay, so then here, I'm going to show what Gavin Morgan has done in terms of an, quite an impressive piece of work with using the Algolia site site search engine so here is this, the plugin site with now using search provided by Algolia which is a search company. So they donate to open source projects. And so now I can ask questions like show me GitHub branch source and or show me, show me, let's see, a strategy plugin, and it finds strategy and strategies and a very elegant, nice improvement we used to have search that was our own indexes. He's improved it now to use these Algolia indexes. And as a result, we also get reports that tell us which search results have been which which search queries generated no results. So we've recently learned that a number of people are asking questions about this thing TFS, or team foundation server. And the answer is, we don't have anything to offer them right now, should we do something there. So the the experience has been really helpful. Well, now it gets better, because Algolia has also given us has also donated search for the Jenkins documentation site. So, Zina view of all people likely remember from your work on the Jenkins on Kubernetes documentation. No search up here well guess what there is now. Wow, and it has actually been fixed. Looks better now. Yes, and and works well. It is certainly we want to do more tuning we have more things to improve. But it works, and it shows things. Oh, whoops, now that's interesting. I have a bug.  That's very interesting. Okay, so that was a bad sign just a minute while I record for myself what I did there. Okay, how did I do that. So look at the recording later that page that came up with undefined is indicates there's a bug in something that I need to fix. So excuse my showing you a bug live. So we've still got tuning to do here because one of the things we're finding is that that very often. Yes, very often what we see is the search results are biased towards answering with extension points. And extension points are just developer documentation, not interesting to typical users so on this and this sample of the five results that are shown only one of them is interesting to a typical user. So we need to find a way to turn down the priority of these extension points documents. We haven't found that yet but we got to learn from how to do that. Well, okay. And that was all that I had to show any other topics we need to discuss today. None for me. Okay, Kristen. No, I don't have anything. All right. Sorry, I wanted to ask a question. Actually, this is not related to it's about cloud bees. So I got an invitation to speak at an International Women's Day event for cloud bees from, I think, Stephanie or so. So I just want to confirm the name. Stephanie. And I think the last meeting we had was like last week and she was asking about speaker fee and something like that. So we had a kind of discussion so she sent me a mail today that they could work with the speaker fee or how cloud bees donate to Sheikot Africa. So I just wanted to confirm if this is has anything related to sponsoring contributor or this is different. I think I think they are distinct from each other. Yeah, because Selena Selena and I had that the conversation today she did mention that that they were having you speak separately and that there was a speaker fee but to me it those teams separate because they're what what it is is they're willing to pay you the fee or donate to Sheikot Africa but that's not, they're not coupled to each other. So, so their sponsorship of the contributon I believe is planned, whether or not they give you the speaker fee and I would suggest take the speaker fee directly don't have them donated to Sheikot Africa just because we want to encourage you to be a speaker. Thank you. I mean, if you feel oh you you're willing to donate it to Sheikot Africa that's your choice but for me I think in order to assure that you have the opportunity to speak and are compensated for speaking, you should accept the speaker fee. All right, thank you. Kristen does that seem reasonable to you am I am I off base. No I think I think you're right I think they're separate things. Don't say don't worry about combining those. Right. And I think, I think those kind of things are great. It's, it's a good chance for us to, for us to help the Sheikot Africa movement and your leadership of that movement. So those are both good things for us to help. Thank you. All right, I think that's it then. Let's call an end and I'll, I'll post the recording in an hour or two. All right. Thank you. Bye. Bye.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA have done something just today in this game that we have been waiting years for. And yes, it does have to do with those team of the season rewards, changes that are upcoming to FIFA 23. I want to talk about that today, all that we learned about the new rewards that are coming and how it's going to impact this game, how it's going to impact the market and prices and especially some weekend league demand.  So we'll have to take a look at that. And of course, looking to today on Wednesday, what's the content going to be today? One day closer to team of the season this Friday, the excitement is building, the hype is building. We have a big game today for the showdown between Ben White and Gunduan City versus Arsenal. So that's big as a part of content today too. And today we're going to see the last team of the week of the game. Yeah, you heard me correctly. We're going to talk about that in today's video. If you're excited for it, if it helps you at all, drop a thumbs up on it and of course, subscribe if you are new. Let's take a look back at yesterday just really quickly at the content that we had on the Tuesday, right? It wasn't that crazy of a Tuesday on content on this game. More so, it was more exciting about the news that we got in the game and a part of that, the loading screen. We obviously have the 81 times 11 Bundesliga upgrade pack that was dropped. It's about $65,000 coins. It's just a little bit cheaper because there's no 85 radio player requirement in this 81 times 11. And it worked out nice that EA dropped this 81 times 11 because also yesterday on the game, we had the Bundesliga Tats vote. And this is my Bundesliga Tats vote right here. Guys, looking at this, this could be a really, really stacked a team apart from the attackers. Like if I'm looking at the attackers in here, Koldomani, Florian Wurtz, Diabi. Yes, you have guys like Becker. Yes, you have Luca Becchio, Fulkrug, Taram. I don't know how in the world that Kunku has made it into this vote after being injured for basically the entire year, getting his foot birthday SBC, which having that SBC and having spent the coins for that, now I'm like, man, I hope Kunku doesn't get into Tats, but at the same time, and Kunku getting into team this season would be absolutely insane. And I actually can see it happening.  Bundesliga team this season is always Dortmund and Bayern dominated, but this could be a really nice Tats team. So make sure you get your voting in, voting into a couple of days, but we'll see how this team ends up looking. I'm just so curious to see how the attackers played out at the end of this vote to see who does win. So that was kind of the Bundesliga themed content yesterday. We also had a player of the month, Openda. He finally dropped, but EA didn't really give him that nice of an upgrade. 67, 68,000 coins to do the SBC. You kind of see it's like a split difference here. Some people like it, some people don't. The thing that is kind of, I guess the negative about this card, he only went up a plus one, only plus one and plus two stats around the card, even on his individual stats, not some very big upgrades. And they didn't give him a weak foot or a skill move boost, which is disappointing to say the least on this Openda player of the month. So they made him cheap, but also at the same time, they gave him a small upgrade. So it's kind of a bummer. I think we were hoping for more and something just a little bit better with that Openda player of the month yesterday. So that's there. It's gonna be out for of course, a while as all player of the month are. And it was kind of a quiet day, apart from the news that we first saw from this loading screen guys, and I can't tell you how exciting this is, because we have been asking for this in FIFA for years now. We have been asking for the red versions of cards in FIFA like the Weekend League rewards to have a actual team of the season card design, not the same red card design that we see year round on the team of the week cards, but something completely different. EA dropped this loading screen saying mode reward changes starting in three days, one hour. They dropped a website along with this and a message in the game, but like, look at that card design, bro. That's gonna make me want to play Weekend League more to try to get actual team of the season reds in my team, apart from just the regular team of the season, red design being the same as the team of the weeks like it was in years past. Now there's a lot to talk about with this, so strap in because there's a lot of news and also a lot of kind of, I guess, theory and thinking through this. We don't have all the answers yet, but we do have some answers. Now, they have mentioned just like they did last year, the foot champions cycle is going to be delayed. I don't know if you guys remember last year in foot champions, it started later and also ended later. And the reason it has to start later is it contains players from the current release of the team of the season, like this Friday when Community Tots is released, Community Tots cards and Air to Visit Tots cards will be in the rewards starting this Friday. Basically, you'll be able to play foot champs on Friday after content. The actual foot champions finals do not open until two hours after content. That's kind of the new start time. Two hours after content, every single Friday, it's 8 p.m. UK time, whatever that time is for you. Content plus two hours is when you can start playing foot champs and then of course, you have the 48 hour extension. So instead of foot champions ending on Monday morning at 8 a.m. UK, it is now going to end Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. UK and EA do that. So of course, like we know, they can include the current Tots cards in the current release of rewards. Basically think about it as this. Community Tots comes out on the 28th, which is this Friday. You're gonna be able to pack Community Tots and Air to Visit Tots cards in rewards literally that same night. If you get your games done so fast in the next couple of hours after that and you grind them all out, you'll be able to pack those cards in reds and I guess we'll figure out what the tradable packs look like with how many cards will be in the tradable like team of the season pack instead of the top team of the week pack that we're used to, right? So that's kind of the cool thing about Tots rewards every year. But I mean, this card design is like absolutely unbelievable and the fact that it starts listing in here some of the intricacies about this is that they're going to be giving out more rewards, not necessarily for foot champions, but for the other game modes that we'll get to in a second. Couple of small things I wanna point out from EA's website here. They have mentioned they're excited to drop the special Tots footchamps red design. That's a huge part of all of this. Here's, check this sentence here. You might have missed this, I wanna read this to you. All Tots and Tots moments that are available in packs will be made available as team of the season footchamps red items. They list team of the season moments in here, which is very interesting to me because the team of the season card design and the team of the season moments card design are completely different, right? This is one of the leaks that we had yesterday, Bijlo, right? Joelington as well, a couple of these leaks. That's the Tots moments design right there, right? It's not as cool, not as ornate as the big regular team in the season design. But EA lists that here on their website saying that maybe Tots moments cards are going to be in packs as a part of this. So that's something to watch out for. But again, we have the extension in here. It's gonna start late and end later, which is very nice, right? To get all of your games in. And then also they're gonna gift everybody the qualification points to jump into footchampions playoffs already.  They've gifted us the quality points to get in. Now they've also dropped ahead of the time that this weekend league is gonna be starting a Tots footchamps opening weekend objective which is kinda cool in my opinion. It's not gonna be easy for everybody to do but if you're playing week in league you're at least gonna get the play one and the play five player picks and hopefully you can get one win or five wins to get some 81 times 11 packs as well and another player pick. So these top four should be ones that if you're playing week in league and getting into finals, you'll be able to do. I mean, this is of course footchampions or finals. So you can get all of these done even before you get into the week in league if you play five matches of qualifiers. But then the lower objectives here are kind of fun. And you know what? I rate this from EA because it just gives you a choice on if you want to go for some more league specific packs. You have the 81 11s and the 81 or sorry the 75 times 11 for the league one but if you win three games with 11 players from that specific league in your starting squad you get that extra 81 times 11. So maybe for like Premier League and for Bundesliga since those are the most recent or upcoming like the first two basically single league releases of Tots that could be maybe something you go for this weekend so that you have to have the opportunity to hold these 81 times 11 packs to get another one instead of doing the SBC. So it's a little grindy but it just gives you another fun way to play footchamps if you want to. If you're trying to grind for the best finish possible to get the best Tots rewards possible then maybe you're not gonna do that and maybe you're gonna play with your best team in terms of firepower to get you the best rewards possible. That's something you have to think about as well but I like that EA are giving us options that is just a W. Now one other caveat I wanna point out about this before we move on is today on Wednesday, EA have literally said it here in this message today is the last team of the week of the entire FIFA 23. Team of the League 26 they say here releasing today, April 26th will be the last team of the week released in this game which if you think about it, that's kind of crazy. I know that if you guys remember back in the FIFA 21 when we had COVID and the games were stopped and the leagues were not going on as everything was shut down that was like the only other time I think ever that they stopped team of the week like this and back then they even replaced it with team of the week moments, right? It looks like for right now they are not putting any more team of the week cards in this game. Now that brings the question up should with this news should we be investing in team of the week cards? Well, I hate to break it to you but team of the week cards are actually already inflated. A lot of your 84 and higher rated team of the weeks have started going up in value because fodder itself is up a lot in value right now and that hurts the investing opportunity on some of these team of the week cards. Now also what we've seen before is too EA will find opportunities and find ways to drop these team of the week cards on the game in some sort of upgrade packs some other sort of objective packs or maybe even packs in the store there will be supply like we haven't seen a team of the week upgrade as we see in a long time, right? I think that's going to be something that will make its return during team of the season and also I could see them not requiring just team of the week cards in SBCs as much you often see it during team of the season as well instead of just requiring team of the weeks they also require like, you know they do team of the week or team of the season card, right? Now you do have some other squads in here like the icon of SBCs that say team of the week or foot champion. So, you know they're still going to be some team of the week demand on the market would you want to invest in team of the week cards? You still, I think, could make an investment on some 84s and maybe some 85 rated team of the weeks as close to discards as you can get them usually 85s or like 12 to 13K, 84s are at discards that's going to be something to watch very closely with this week's team of the week which I don't think this upcoming team of the week that's dropping today is going to be supplied that much because it's not going to get supplied from weakening rewards in the tradeable packs because those rewards are changing but if you can get any 80, I would even say 83s 83s and above team of the week cards as close to 11,000 coins basically discard as you can get them there is of course the lack of supply that's going to be hitting the market on this team of the week cards so we could see those prices rise we're going to have a lot of SBCs during team of the season so that is not a bad investment I just don't think it's going to be like the no brainer investment in everybody pictures because EA is going to find a way to supply team of the week cards into our clubs via SBCs or objectives so that those prices on the market don't go up too much so that was the last thing I wanted to point out with weakening rewards really quickly also this is big news division rivals we're going to have red footchamps items in division four and above if you're in divisions five through 10 which is like a wake up call to me I haven't played rivals in the past like two months in this game because the rewards just did not seem worth it especially if you can play homegrown 11 every single week and get better rewards and more fodder from that then playing rivals now EA have up the ante to wanting to play rivals if you're in Div 4 and above you're going to get red items depending on your division and the milestone rank you reach at the end so the only problem with this is it looks like you're going to have to get the red picks you'll be earning those in the milestone rank so at the very end of the season which is probably going to be a long season over a month long so that's kind of like maybe something you can kind of worked on towards the end of the month when those objectives or when those SBCs would actually get released but I mean that's not bad honestly we take it right it's another thing with EA is going above and beyond to put out better rewards and to kind of give better rewards at this stage of the game so we take it elite division more red player picks that's a W we can't complain about that at all we're going to see the final update in the coming days in this game even squad battles are going to be receiving some Tots rewards as well silver and higher can earn you Tots rewards that increase as you go higher so that's a W honestly this whole big refresh of the team of the season mode rewards is such a big W now how is it going to impact the market right we've talked about it just shortly a little bit already it's going to bring more demand for team buying and for people to buy cards for their teams to play the weekend like especially with the objective there that kind of shows that you can have players or that you can get extra packs from having players from different leagues get three wins you switch to another team get three wins there's going to be a lot of people that are very very interested in that so there's going to be so much price movement every single weekend on this game because people are going to be looking at cards that they could potentially buy for their team to then be trading in and out of their squad to then go on to that next objective to get those extra packs it's going to be an absolutely incredible time in these next three four, five, six weeks on FIFA 23 to trade and to flip cards because there's going to be constant demand as people are out trying players buying players to fit into their weakening squads to get those objectives done and of course team of season always brings a lot of gameplay demand because people are trying to get those red team of season cards and the fact that we have a real card design for those is just absolutely crazy so that's going to help the market but it's probably not going to help the market truly until we get after the start of team of season this Friday right now the market's still kind of in its low-ish price range some of these cards are going up Darwin Nunez who was under 400K he's like 440,000 coins right now remember when Felix was 500,000 coins we looked at him on like Sunday and then he's up like 50 or 60K he is about 550,560 so these rare cards have started to go back up a little bit, right? We look at our Golden Bopay who was 345,000 coins he is currently 360K so up a little bit not crazy but that's probably how the market's going to trend until we get to Friday it does depend on some leaks it does depend on the loading screen they're probably going to update the loading screen today as a part of Wednesday content that's probably going to be part of what they do now we do have a couple other leaks and we kind of looked at these really shortly and talking about some Tots moments cards but we have two leaks or actually three Joe Ellington is added to come as an objective for a community team of the season that could be a very interesting objective card Brazilian links in the Premier League Joe Ellington kind of a FIFA favorite card could be very overpowered it'd be very interesting to see how they boost the stats on his card I think in the Community Tots voting he was listed as a midfielder so maybe they would give him a midfielder card probably deserved that could be a really juice card that a lot of people would be interested in that's our first official foot sheriff Community Tots leak and then we have a couple other leaks coming from the Eredivisie Bijlo as a goalkeeper not bad and then of course we have Hanco the center back could be really really overpowered just would not have as great of links you think about center backs in the Eredivisie you think about Timber right with the Dutch links the IX links that he had last year I guess this year as well so Hanco being Feynard he's definitely going to link to other Feynard cards that will be in team a season because they are absolutely killing it in the league but I don't know how overpowered that's going to be because of that nation link that may not be as great but still a really cool card it's going to be in the game Eredivisie center back there that could be pre-stacked those are the leaks that we have right now for upcoming players now watch the loading screen like I mentioned again watch that today watch some more news for players to be leaked in and a part of the upcoming team of the season squads now a couple other leaks that we have first of all today's content at Wednesday we talked about this yesterday it didn't drop yesterday hopefully it's going to drop today according to what this leak says that 85 plus player pick one of three SBC is potentially coming to the game today as well so if you're taking a look at fodder if you have been lazy listing your fodder prices yesterday they went down a little bit right 85s were at 13, 14,000 coins now they're in the 12k range 83s, 84s still up your high rated fodder starting to dip a little bit I think this is literally just the change of people starting to list a few of these cards up because they realize that the kind of demand is starting to filter out and it's more of the supply that is coming in so GGs if you sold these guys you know Monday we were kind of talking about this Monday night yesterday in the video that it was a good day to sell those cards yesterday and they definitely did drop off right there was probably a little bit of supply that came in from maybe a couple the SBCs that an individual packs inside of them in the SBC section that people are still doing but you can tell that that demand is dropping off and you're seeing the prices go back down we have to keep a close eye on the middle to high tier fodder this weekend as we have some SBCs refreshing one big SBC refreshing on Friday even though it's team this season with a lot of pack supply up coming we're gonna have to keep a close eye on that but low tier fodder still for me I think your 85s are gonna go up a little bit more it just depends on the requirement of this player pick SBC today because I do believe that is going to be dropping and then of course like we mentioned the last team of the week of this game what is it gonna look like I'm very very interested to see what EA might do for this very last team week in a prediction here in Fopen we've got Hummels we've got Joe Wellington that's interesting if that would happen Openda he just got a players a month though Lukaka, Lukaku Lukash Paqueta Ledesma interesting looking team of the week nothing super crazy we will see what EA dropped today on this game hopefully they drop a banger come on EA last team week of the year you gotta know you gotta drop a banger there so we'll see if that's a part of the content today but today I think we'll also get we have not had the league one 75 times 11 pack yet we've had all the other leagues except for the league one I think that might be our upgrade pack dropping today on this game just another reminder to do your daily log in SBC upgrade be crafting any and all of these SBCs that you could potentially do with the fodder that you have in your club I just sent to my club some more 84s some more 85s that I had on my transfer list from a big club stock that I did last week I'm trying to do this 86 plus double upgrade every day because I think for me this one is the one that's really worth it because you get two players 86 plus yeah I know it's tough to pack Tots cards because you're only getting two it's not like you're getting you know 11 players like the other 81 times 11s but I see potential with this right so 84 rated squad no informs easy requirements easy done that's another 86 plus squad or pack save for me I'm gonna be doing a lot of these packs this week I gotta do this 81 times 11 primarily I'm gonna be doing as much of these from here on out to the end of the week as I can possibly do because guys team of the season is this Friday man it's getting close the hype is building and hopefully the hype continues to build today on FIFA 23 we're gonna talk about it all on stream today as we get the new content so if you're excited for that and you wanna drop in there drop in the twitch.tv slash the foot account link down below in description if you just wanna click on it there but that's gonna be the video for today guys if you did enjoy smash the thumbs up wanna comment down below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you're new it's been Nate the

Okay, great. So hello. Good morning and welcome everybody. My name is Derek O'Halloran. It's my great pleasure to welcome you all here today. I'm the head of digital economy at the World Economic Forum and I'm delighted to have this conversation, this opportunity to talk about a topic that over the last two years, I think through the pandemic has really come into much sharper focus for a broad range of people across pretty much every country and every walk of life. And that is the challenge of ensuring universal digital inclusion. I think through the pandemic, many of us realized how much we relied on digital and how much we could rely on digital in order to fulfill so many different areas of our lives. We were able to continue working. Many small businesses were able to stay in business. We were able to keep educating children. Really, we relied on it for pretty much every aspect of our lives. However, this is not true for everybody. In fact, today, still 2.9 billion people, that's over one-third of the world's population, do not enjoy the benefits that we all take for granted with the internet. There has been some good news over the last two years. According to the latest information, the latest data from the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union, the 800 million people have joined the internet over the last two years, and that's one of the biggest jumps we've seen in over a decade. So really, really great advancement, great news. However, still so much to be done, 2.9 billion people over a third of the world's population that really do not have today any opportunity to participate, meaningfully, in this increasingly digital society and economy that we are building now at the beginning of this 21st century. Many see this issue as fundamental, so many of our other goals, many have called us the SDG-18, or should be SDG-18, or maybe SDG-0, because it is one which would enable so many of the other goals that we want to try to achieve for an inclusive and sustainable economy and society. In January of 2021, the World Economic Forum supported a committed group of organizations to launch a coalition designed to tackle this challenge. It was called the Edison Alliance, and spear-handed under the leadership of Hans Vestberg, the chief executive officer of Verizon, and if we look at what is the nature of this challenge, why is it that these 2.9 billion people are not connected, one of the first things we must understand is that 95% of these people actually live within range of 3G connectivity or better. 95%. So the challenge is not just one of infrastructure. Clearly, we need to work on the infrastructure for the 5%, but it's not just a challenge of infrastructure. So what are the gaps? The key gaps are the availability of services that are affordable and meaningful for people to be able to use. And addressing that challenge requires a cross-industry and private public approach, a multi-stakeholder approach, so that we can build the partnerships to co-develop the solutions in order to bring these services to individuals around the world. The Alliance decided, rather than try and boil the ocean, to focus first on three critical areas where people would get the greatest benefit from digital connectivity. That is, namely, the three areas being digitally enabled services across financial inclusion, healthcare and education. This is why the Alliance is comprised of 46 leaders across all of those sectors, as well as telecommunications, technology companies, investors, governments and international organizations. I'm very, very happy to be joined today by three of the members, three of the leaders from the Edison Alliance to talk a little bit more about the work that has been done to date and some of the work that we are launching today. One of the key pieces that we all set at the outset was that we wanted to make sure that we were very much focused on outcomes. And one of the first things we said is that we would set ourselves ambitious targets and hold ourselves accountable to those targets. So in September of 2021, last September, we launched the One Billion Lives Challenge, which is an effort to bring digitally enabled services across healthcare, education and financial services to improve one billion lives by 2025. We're going to hear more about the progress we've made against that in just a moment, as well as two new areas, two new pillars that will drive the collaboration of the work going forward today. So to help walk through some of these elements, joined by Rima Koreshi, the Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President at Verizon and Deputy to Hans Vestberg, the Chair of Edison Alliance. Akeem Steiner, the Administrator of the United Nations Development Program and our dear friend, Minister Paula Igabirre, the Minister for ICT and Innovation for Rwanda. Rima, perhaps I'll start with you. Could you tell us a little bit more what is the One Billion Lives Challenge and how is it going, what progress has been made so far? Thank you, Derek, and very important initiative. So the One Billion Lives Challenge is really to look at how we can create commercially viable solutions that impact and improve One Billion Lives globally with a focus on helping women. And as you mentioned, we started in January 2021. We thought at the time that we were coming out of the pandemic and we were going to be focused on the areas that were most important that we felt that it came to light during the pandemic. How do you get access to telemedicine? How do you have access to education remotely? And how do you have access for everyone for financial services? So that's why we focused on those focus areas. Our objective when we started the Alliance was to ensure that we had a small but impactful group of champions, as we call them. We started with 22 champions and we have now more than doubled to 46 champions. As Derek mentioned, we wanted to articulate exactly what was the purpose of the Edison Alliance. That's why we gave ourselves a target of One Billion. In some respects you could say it's a lot. In other respects you could say it's not enough. But we want to make sure that when we say a billion, that we are able to measure and quantify that there are actually a billion people that have somehow been helped with the work that we are doing. We have since the launch of that One Billion Challenge doubled the number of commitments that we have. So more than half of all of our 46 champions have made a commitment. And we will be announcing in September of this year where we are towards our overall target of reaching that One Billion. And one thing that we are very much focused on is each one of the champions that makes a commitment are also responsible for reporting and we are focusing on ensuring that that reporting is taking us to that One Billion Challenge and removing wherever there may be overlap. So we are definitely on our way, very much focused and we would love to go beyond the One Billion if we can but we'll start by One Billion and then we'll go from there. Great, thank you. Yeah, clearly the ultimate goal for all of us is that we achieve universal participation, affordable participation in digital economy. So this is a contribution from a group. Can you describe a little bit, what does it mean to make a commitment for an organization? What it means to make a commitment is to focus specifically maybe in the area that you are working. So it could be geographically you are going to be focusing on helping, for example, if you're gonna do something with healthcare and you are in the healthcare space. So that might be you are going to address healthcare services for X number of million people in a particular geography. That could be an example of a commitment. It really depends on the type of company, the type of business that you are in and where you believe you can affect that change. In general, most of our champions are looking at making commitments multi-year and what we try to do is to track that progress specifically from when the Edison Alliance was launched. So we will not go back in time. We will only look at the commitments that have been made since January, 2021 that are applicable in the areas that we are working on. And I think one of the key reasons why we believe the World Economic Forum are the right conveners for this is we are all here and we are all represented, public, private, government, NGOs, we are all here and our objective is to make those links, is to create that enablement because we all have a role to play. It's really how you bring people together, how you create examples of how it's been done elsewhere and how you can use those examples towards using similar principles in another geography or for a different field. That's I think what we will hear a little bit more about. So that is our objective and we want to be very concrete. We don't want to put high level targets that aspirationally we may not reach or it may take a longer period of time so that's why we are limited in time, really focused on execution and really focused on being able to demonstrate that we have actually improved lives. Great, thank you. Akim, maybe I'll turn to you. And by the way, we'll have one round here and then I will open up for questions from the audience so we can have a little bit of a discussion for the second half. But Akim, let me turn to you if I may. So Rima mentioned there about some of the ongoing work that is taking place within organizations both in the private sector, also in governments. We've seen in the process of those 800 million being added in over the last couple of years, there's a tremendous amount of innovation that is taking place both within the private sector and the public sector in order to enable people but it feels very scattered. There's an awful lot of great insight and resources available out there. Could you tell us a little bit more about the digital inclusion navigator which you've helped to develop, co-develop along with BCG and what its purpose is and how it might be helpful for people? Sure, and good morning to all. I mean, just following up from where Rima was speaking, I mean all of us who in a sense committed to working through this partnership in the Edison Alliance obviously had to look for very practical and very direct ways of helping to accelerate what we observed during the pandemic, what we had in the years leading up to the pandemic already began to recognize, namely that digitalization, digital ecosystems were going to grow exponentially. And another way of describing availability, accessibility, affordability is this term, inclusive. So much of, as you have described, what is happening in the world right now is an extraordinary amount of experimentation, innovation, interaction on your regulatory frameworks. And so in our discussions, we felt that first of all, deliberate design for inclusion is not always necessarily an objective that is explicitly upfront. And yet we very much require both industry technology developers but also governments, investors to make it an explicit goal because otherwise digitalization could create new and amplify inequalities. So what's the shortcut to that? Well, the idea was, and this is where the WEF and BCG and UNDP essentially came together, is to simply create a platform, this digital inclusion navigator where in the kind of one-stop shop you can take a look at what is actually being designed, where have the success stories emerged and particularly to also recognize, Paula will I'm sure speak to that in a moment when you have a government that has a deliberate policy, how does it actually implement that? What are the regulatory frameworks, the reforms? What are the incentives and how do providers, how do the private sector, how do consumers respond? So today we are actually publicly launching digital inclusion navigator. You will find it on the Edison Alliance website if you go to Edison Alliance WEF, you can find the link there. And it is really a constantly growing body of essentially demonstrated success stories either in policymaking, in design, in applications or in a very deliberate way of giving expression to these notions of availability, accessibility, affordability and I think hopefully will contribute to our ability to really make lives different for a billion people by working together. It can just be a shortcut, it can inspire others to follow but it's also to celebrate very smart thinking that is happening across the world and unfortunately it is a very diverse world, it's very dispersed and our hope was that this accelerator would in a sense be a very convenient way to use. Great, excellent. So it definitely seems like there is no one size fits all. A lot of the easy wins have been gained but being able to rapidly scale successes from innovations in different places is something we hope to achieve there, excellent. Paula perhaps I'll turn to you then for a third pillar, a third leg to the stool here if you will. So Rima spoke about some of the global collaboration that has emerged over the past 14 months through the convening of the champions but a lot of the innovation that Akim is talking about happens of course in countries and that's where the progress, that's where the work is really done. So today we're also launching the first wave of lighthouse countries. Could you share perhaps a little what are the lighthouse countries and what do we hope to achieve and tell us perhaps a little around the first ones we are launching today. Thanks Derek, good morning everyone and perhaps before I talk about the countries maybe also piggyback on what both Rima and Akim shared and true to the design of the Edison Alliance being a public-private partnership it also means that governments are also included in this and so the idea of the lighthouse network of countries was really around finding those like-minded countries, those countries that have already, and most countries do have their digital inclusion agenda but it's really how many of those to Akim's point have already put in place the policies, the regulations that are willing to test and eager to test some of these new partnerships and new projects so that they can creatively close on the gaps that they have. Being able to willing to share information but most importantly because we're talking about a public-private partnership also willing to put some skin in the game because when you look at the extent of the challenges that we face and the sheer amount of resources required to really close on the gaps you can't depend on government financing or private sector financing so it has to be a mix of these different partners bringing together both the technical resources, the financial resources to really, and the ideas to what Akim was saying to really close on these gaps and so we have a set of criteria that has been put out and essentially what we also do is to encourage countries to express interest because we need them to show willingness to want to be part of this, not just a part of the Edison Alliance but also part of really closing on the digital inclusion gaps that they have within their jurisdictions and secondly being able to share what the best practices have been, what hasn't worked also because sometimes someone else may want to replicate what you have done and failed but I think that's the whole idea of the digital inclusion navigator to be able to say we've done 10 things, three of them worked, seven didn't work and so that helps for the other countries that want to implement similar initiatives to really not burn the circuits through the process and so today we will be announcing the first wave like you mentioned Derek of Lighthouse countries, Bangladesh, Bahrain and Rwanda and starting with Bangladesh, both Bangladesh and Bahrain are focused on education, Derek did mention the three focus areas, education, financial services and healthcare. So for the two Bangladesh and Bahrain, they're focused on digital skilling, digital literacy, edtech solutions for students, Bangladesh specifically with a focus on women and girls in taking on STEM careers and Bahrain with a focus on teachers and the beauty about all of this is that many all of us and the pandemic if there's one sector that has been largely disrupted is the education sector so being able to have multiple countries that could be doing the same thing around hybrid learning around embracing digital technologies to improve on the quality of education I think will allow for those learnings to be shared across the board. Third is Rwanda and we're focused on cashless driving financial inclusion through digital payments and our target and the pandemic again has been a good eye-opening experience the very first four months of going through the pandemic we had tenfold digital payments transactions happening so we saw a clear shift from heavily cash best ways of transacting to digital financial payments but largely through the mobile phone and so that's also a best practice that can be shared what triggered that was the lowering of transaction fees how do you sustain that going forward and so these are some of the things that we look forward to sharing. The other one that will be focused on is digital skilling for our citizens where we have a target over the next two years to at least scale five million citizens by 2024 and that's a target that is really again going to require a lot of partnerships across the board to be able to close the gap. So going forward even as we announced this fast wave of lighthouse countries we have a long list of many other countries that are joining the network that we will be announcing progressively but again to Rima's point we need to see impact and impact that is happening immediately so that we can quickly understand what needs to change but how do we close on the gaps as soon as possible. That's great thank you very much and I think we all always watch Rwanda with admiration for the willingness to innovate and keep learning and learn as you say try 10 things, three of them work take those try the next 10 things so I think it's been great to see that that has been driven forward over the last decade and thank you for all of your work there. I will open up to the audience here for any questions that people may have I see in the room some partners that are already actively involved as well as maybe some new folk who are hearing and learning about some of this for the first time but maybe just before we go there I'd like to maybe just come back a little bit on kind of the motivation so Rima maybe start with yourself so Verizon is a US based operator so I mean isn't this a problem everywhere else? Why are you guys here? He says that as if it's a bad thing but the motivation, okay so let's start with first of all this isn't a problem in Africa or in Asia this is a problem globally we have as many people or similar issues in the US as we have in other geographies we have people who have access the way that we take for granted and what we needed to survive during the pandemic and we have people literally sitting outside of a Starbucks or a public library because that's the only place they can get wifi connection so this is a problem that we need to fix within the US as much as we need to fix it elsewhere and Verizon is really committed to this we have already spent over $3 billion on initiatives for digital inclusion during the pandemic we were very much focused on what we could do through the Verizon Foundation on the education side and Verizon Innovative Learning which we have been working on for a very long time but with a greater focus to help those during the pandemic to ensure that they could study remotely through the Verizon Innovative Learning Program we've helped 1.8 million children and we are continuing to look at how we can help others through STEM education in other areas so it is a commitment it is all of our responsibilities and we all have something to contribute so what we believe that we can contribute is not only the fact that we are in the US but the fact that we have a belief that we can help convene and help solve the problems that we have to solve ourselves in our geography but we can help do that with others one of the things that we talked about that Akim mentioned there are three aspects it's the usability, it's the accessibility and it's the affordability a lot of the people that need to be involved from an affordability perspective are people that we have to work with in our day job and we can use that as our way of trying to bring those people together to solve these problems so there is the benefit of the ecosystem that we are part of to help solve these problems for ourselves as well as globally and also because we believe it is the right thing to do and maybe I'll just ask Akim the same question UNDP, perhaps digital technologies maybe not be the first thing that people would think about if they think about UNDP, traditionally again, maybe the same question to yourself I hope I'm not getting myself into trouble here What can I say? How often people get things wrong in life, isn't it? No, actually I'm in the room here also with my colleague Doreen from the ITU the International Telecommunication Union I think in all fairness there are some who saw the advent of that digital universe already years ago and they were part of enabling it to happen I think what really began to make a development program of the United Nations whose objective ultimately is about human development and how development can be inclusive and sustainable was really the realization of quite how deep and how far digitalization was rapidly permeating every aspect of development in every part of the world and so in the 2019 UNDP Human Development Report which is sort of the annual report about where is development taking us what is the frontier of thinking two things and it was that the theme then was inequality we were basically trying to unpack and understand how inequality is essentially either tackled in there for enabling societies to advance or indeed becoming a more pronounced problem polarizing societies and holding it back and the two variables that emerged there as really the ones over the next 10 to 20 years were interesting enough digitalization and climate change both carrying within themselves the greatest accelerator in terms of addressing inequality or if not acted on appropriately amplifying inequality and that is the point at which I with my leadership team took the decision to essentially take UNDP into a digital literacy exercise to first of all understand what is it that development decision making can influence and what do we learn from countries that have already embarked on that pathway successfully, unsuccessfully but then really also understanding that our greatest contribution would be to help countries build a digital ecosystem because it's not just about fiber optic it's not just about the number of people who have access it's how do you work with the education sector so school leavers are actually able to enter a digital economy and find a place in there how do you work with the financial system so the startup world, the enterprises that are least likely to even be looked at by a bank traditionally would actually become the front line of where small scale investments, loans, financing would become available and how could government ensure that along so many different trajectories rural, urban, men and women all the people, younger people these are all inequality lines that you can address with deliberate policy deliberate investments and this is why today we have an entire team in UNDP that is working with every other team in our country offices on essentially bringing that digitalization lens to achieving development outcomes and I think in that sense the same logic first of all not to do it would be foolish given what is happening secondly it's actually an enormous opportunity Thank you, well now I am much better informed thank you but to the areas that you mentioned there are really I think important themes that have come through all of our work I think one being that point around even though we've had all of the great addition in terms of numbers to the internet in fact with more people that are connected and the more services become digital it exacerbates the divide for those that are not connected and then second the point around it being digital availability or adoption in one part of the community or ecosystem being an amplifier or a catalyst that then has a lot of second order third order of order effects for businesses and communities so I have a different question for you Paula because I know the motivation question is a little different as the minister it's kind of your job so I have a different question for you but let's go to the room first Barry please go ahead So we'll just take the microphone there Hi Barry French from Inmarsat and first of all congratulations on the great Edison work and we're pleased to announce our commitments I guess two weeks ago and I love the discipline and the focus on execution because that's really great I have what may be a slightly controversial question to ask and Derek's already gotten himself in trouble so I'm gonna not get myself in trouble as well I think we all look at this connectivity and say there's a social good here which is true and I don't doubt it for a second you know 99.9999 whatever cases it's a good but there are also times when all this connectivity in the wrong hands can be used the wrong way and I experienced it when I was with Nokia and we had some issues in Iran where you know telecom equipment was used to target dissidents and activists and ended up doing bad things and I guess I'd just ask all of you or whoever wants to take it is how do you think about this issue when you bring on all these new people and connectivity how do you think about that to ensure that what we do is a good for human rights and is not used to oppress human rights Great, so how do we ensure we're not being too techno optimist here and we're having a balance who wants to take care? I'm happy to just give a quick response because there is a very, very obvious response and that is if you don't pay attention to it you will exactly enable as with any technology those who want to manipulate it or to use it either to their own financial advantage at the expense of others or indeed much deeper fundamental human rights issues and it's very interesting when the Secretary General invited a group of leaders to advise him on how to look at digital cooperation in the future there was a very poignant sentence in there and I think it speaks exactly to what you're alluding to which is there is a strange assumption almost with the advent of digital and all that has come with it that almost 75 years of developing fundamental human rights protection of data citizens rights and so on in an analog world ceases to somehow be relevant in the digital world which is a very dangerous assumption remember the less restriction states should not interfere in the internet and so on no I mean you know citizens today are affected in their fundamental exercise of their rights but actually also in the protection of their rights and protection of citizens and I think we are struggling to keep up with where this is the other dimension is cyber crime I mean we are today in an era where cyber warfare becomes the next form of military combat so to speak but in a digital sense so again I think we are extremely concerned in the United Nations and are looking with a great deal of attention to where is the scope to create an international framework here that just like we have for other forms of conflict strange as it sounds I mean we have to find rules for war it's the sad tragedy of human condition but I think that sphere that you are alluding to is absolutely part of that and probably becoming the greatest single new threat for which there is very little right now to deal with I'll stop here so maybe just to add on that I think just like anything there's always the benefits and risks that come with it I like to use the example of driving while you know cars were put to ease mobility but if not used well it results into death right so even when we're talking about the digital space it's the same and that's partly why in many cases even as governments you have regulations to start with because it's meant to look at what could be the worst case scenario or what was intended to be a good thing not actually resulting into a good thing there's also the unintended consequences that sometimes we are not very much aware of from the onset when we are designing some of these initiatives but what you'll typically see across the board and largely across government is that there's also an effort to sensitize create awareness because you also know that even when you provide this public good in the hands of the people it may not necessarily be used for the right things all the time and so how do you create that awareness how do you sensitize but also how do you put in place the checks and balances that are required to safeguard and protect those that are using it I want to give a practical example I remember when we were putting in a lot of effort to drive digital financial inclusion we saw a lot of fraud coming with that while you have more and more people that have easy access to financial services you still had a bunch of people who are using the same tools to con citizens and so again and I think this is the beauty about the digital landscape is that change is a constant so you're constantly evolving understanding what are the new forms of threats and risks that are emerging and then also designing for those so when we talk about privacy by design security by design it's exactly to take care of some of those concerns Great. I have a lot to say on this so first of all I'm gonna date myself a little bit but I have been working in this industry or related industries for over 30 years and with the advent of the phone there was a belief initially that there would be hundreds not billions imagine your life today without a phone and yes there are risks but think of all of the benefits and think of all of the things that we would not be able to do and I believe the net of all of the risks is still an overall benefit for all of the things that it would enable and we can just look at the pandemic we were talking about that over a dinner last night could you have even gotten a vaccine or scheduled a vaccine if you weren't able to go online to know where to go and actually book it so there are basic things that are so fundamental that would not be possible unless you are part of the ecosystem there are risks and we have to be careful of those risks but ultimately I think GDP is impacted when you have more people online literacy the ability to bring everybody along instead of those that can afford it overall it is much better to have people and be aware of those benefits risks and to deal with them as best as we can than to leave people off yeah it's way way out of way to risk but it's good to hear that I think the term is really proactive I think for too long we observed this as a sphere in which maybe other rules would apply and I think this was a problem yeah so maybe the gentleman in the second or first and then how will we come to you my name is George Vadenberg I'm chairman of the board of the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative one branch of what we're going to do is to digitally, cognitively assess the world's population so I'd love to talk to you about how whether or not our work may join with your work to extend the digitalization to the solutions of the brain diseases I'm going to take a personal note here I was at AOL the first time I came to Davos was 20 years ago with Steve Case and AOL to try and persuade the world that the internet was a good thing before cell phones before there was any of this we coined the digital divide as a problem in the United States because it wasn't accessible we had problems of child pornography how to control that we had problems of copyright violation how to control that how are we going to protect people who put their credit cards online because they didn't want to use and put credit cards online could you imagine never putting credit cards online today so you've basically taken the debate that we had domestically 20 years ago to try and weigh values and downsides and taken it global so I cannot say enough about how impressed I am by this alliance to try and take all of these problems and tackle them at a global level I think the net benefit of the internet to the world has been extraordinary it has been misused by governments by cyber criminals but nevertheless the net balance has been terrific and so I congratulate you on this alliance thank you very much would you mind passing? Pam Reeve from American Tower and I'm so proud that we are part of the Edison Alliance our commitment to 2,000 digital communities by 2025 you asked why companies engage with this and I just wanted to add to Reema's wonderful comments we operate in many underdeveloped countries around the world or emerging economies around the world and we want their economic development and we want that development to be spread broadly we need a skilled workforce and a healthy workforce in those environments we want political stability in those environments so it's good for our business it's good for us to do it but we also think it's a moral imperative and as Zakim just said life is impossible without access to the internet what I wondered if some of you might address and I'm looking at you Paula because I know you've done so much of this in Rwanda for us to succeed in the one billion connectivity affected not just connected population by 2025 I think this is going to take an unprecedented level of partnership at all levels from companies quasi's non-profits and governments probably the likes of which we've never seen before more collaborative, more creative dare I say more innovative and flexible than we've seen before and I wonder since you've had so much success in Rwanda if you might give the audience here an example of that that we can see in the future we know for our digital communities that's an absolute requirement great and I'm trying to think which would be the best example to use but maybe just starting off by it's one thing to have the financial resources whether it's the money that is going to be you know put together from private sector and governments but it's another thing to think through the processes, the regulations that need to unlock this access usage and affordability and I think that's where and that's where the biggest pain point is in many times is that many countries regulations haven't caught up with the rate of innovation, with the rate at which technology is going and the lack of that almost means that something that could take you a year or two to happen could take you another 10 years because you're still stuck on very archaic regulations that are not relevant to the challenges that you're trying to to so for and so even for us as governments even as we launch the Lighthouse network of countries it's really being able to allow ourselves to take the risk of breaking up some of these regulations and figuring out what how is this going to happen just speaking an example about and Derek knows because he worked very closely with the forum, we were trying to put in place our data protection and privacy law we were one of a few African countries that have already put one in place and just like many countries in the world not just in Africa, a lot of them are benchmarking the GDPR. Now is it convenient for our local context? Are there sticky issues globally that no one has sort of figured out what do we do with that and so things like hosting data in country, does that make sense, does that help with, you know, multinational companies because it would mean that every jurisdiction that you're in you have to put a data center or some sort of facility because everyone wants to keep the data in country. What could be the alternatives could we think about you know approaches like white listing if I can't pick 50 countries that have similar regulations that how we protect personal data usage how can that be done and so I would allow for many countries to be able to host my data, can we think about data embassies and so some of these things require that you really you know break the norm and try and figure out what makes sense for you to be able to bear it because you can't live from, you can't stay ahead of technology if you're still bogged down by regulations and policies that are not necessarily at par with where you are and we've had our fair share of challenges by the way we've learned through many of these where we put in place regulations and policies they've worked for the first two to five years after that it just don't work and so we've had to say do we get stuck on a decision we made five years ago or do we just go ahead and figure out what makes sense and so I think that's the kind of agility that is required because I feel many times that's what bogs down implementation and progress. Great thank you so much. We are running out of time here so we're going to wrap up in two to three minutes perhaps I'll do one lightning round of maybe a tweet length thought to leave with the audience. I think we've heard about the three pillars that we're building across the Edison Alliance with concrete commitments towards a defined target, a platform to enable the acceleration of shared learnings and the dissemination of successes and then the focal points in lighthouse countries where we can actually bring the partnerships together we've learned that we need to be confident that the benefits that raise the risks but we need to consciously manage those risks through the explicit acknowledgement of principles and the conscious cooperation of those into the design of regulations and policies and I think as you articulated very well the combination of resources, partnerships, regulation, thinking through the processes of all of the things that are needed but the most important staying agile.  You didn't read.  Lots of different initiatives out there the objective of the alliance is really to look at how we can combine them to solve the problems that we are all looking at. We are all in this together and I think we're all part of the solution. I don't think that was 140 characters but it's not email. I believe Ilana is looking at it. Thank you. So abbreviation ICNYT or in case you missed it add web hashtag Edison Alliance. Very good. Who said the UNDP wasn't digital? I don't think I can much talk much. I'll give it a try. Exciting partnerships today tackling digital inclusion at the core. Excellent. Great. Thank you all very much. Thank you for your time and enjoy the rest of the day. Thank you.
