Dear DDHT members

I will request IGF Secretariat to archive DDHT v.0 in April of 2027. The AR for 2026 would have been posted by that time. I will remain Chair until said time.

I will request that a new active version of DDHT v1 to be then applied to the website under the new name proposed by Amado. This new name is relevant to the current times as we see the evolution of AI. Ref federated AI plus noted above. 

Members have requested that the existing book be carried over. Think of a new name for 2027? Let Amado know. You can vote on this. 

Interim Co Chairs Amado and Jorn and VC Joao will then have a new web canvas page to work with.  You can go with the recommended leadership or re-organize as you wish with new TOR. You can populate the webpage, a new one and update the DC mandate as you see fit for a new vision. 

We will archive the Google Groups list as it is based out of Toronto Canada. Use the already newly created IGF list and move all existing members over. Old stakeholders may want to be more active in the new. Old members don't have to sign up again. Members seem to have group private lists that are not under the domain of the main list. Your choosing. 

Think about the above and have your say in 2027. 

We have come along way. I remember signing the pattern based methodology statement organized by Robert Guerra of then CPSR, that founded the joint agreement on the methodology for AI pattern development. Now we move to Federated AI an evolution. I think of my old tutor Roger Baily at Imperial College UK who pioneered and advocated  distributed systems, which is only now coming of age in AI. The UK AI was already part of government systems in the early 90s and my professor for AI already working on these projects and including all of us.

It has been an amazing 30 years of development. I was an active contributor to Pew and Elon University social responsibulty research projects through the years. Those predictions for the future are manifesting! 

Now we commence a much deeper level with an extensive ecosystem of systems and a variety of connected technologies....quality and relevance still key outcomes to preserve.

Leave no one behind...

The individual patient needs an advocate in these complex times. 

This is where we started with the pledge to the parient and citizen, and where ever you may go don't forget where we started and remember the patients issues....

Thank you for all your hard work. Ir has been an amazing journey.. We were a collective! 

Thank you. 

Amali De Silva-Mitchell 
Chair IGF DC DDHT 

Still here ...
