Chair of the People Centered Internet. I am honored to take the baton from Vint Cerf, our founding chair, and feel a great sense of stewardship for the foundation he has laid. People must be at the heart of the Internet which can be an Internet of the People, by the People and for the People. I co-founded the People Centered Internet with Vint Cerf so that all can have access to the opportunities that are made possible when people are connected. I deeply believe that people can connect to thrive.

With a passionate founding team, we created the Impact Network in 2017 and work closely with the IEEE Industry Connections Social Impact Measurement which I chair.

Malcolm Bendall

Strike Foundation Guarantee Limited

Malcolm Bendall

Strike Foundation Guarantee Limited

Malcom is an Australian Petroleum engineer and geologist who has spent decades investigating the application of certain aspects of Plasma Physics to energy generation and propulsion. He is the inventor of the MSAART technology, based on the work of several well-known physicists going back to the late 19th century (Nikola Tesla, Winston Bostick, Julius R Oppenheimer, Ken Shoulders, Martin Fleischmann and Hal Puthoff among others).

The MSAART process generates water plasmoids (tiny ionised spherules of plasma) that implode (instead of exploding as in conventional jet engines and turbines) to produce power. The energy output is much increased (by up to 50% under load according to independently recorded tests) while toxic exhausts from the burning of fossil fuels are practically eliminated.
