transport, logistics, warehousing, distribution, etc.

• Sustainable and critical infrastructure [Arman, Benson, Nicole, Steve, TomK

(c ), Pete (c )]

refers to infrastructure (roads, rail, transit, buildings, broadband, 

waterways, energy/grid, manufacturing, etc.) that is used to support the 

needs of a growing population while being environmentally and financially 

sustainable, operationally scalable and resilient against a number of future 

threats like climate change, disasters, economic and others

refers to the prevention, detection, mitigation, response and recovery to 

natural and manmade incidents and events, such as fires, disasters, 

pandemic, etc.

What are the opportunities for IoT and 

benefits it brings? 

What are the barriers hindering IoT 

development, adoption and operation? 

What are some potential 

recommendations?

Who else should we consult or speak to us?

Who wants to write about this?

Actions

• Send your pdfs to Barbara

• Add “Define IoT” on Day 2 agenda (30 minutes) 

- done 

• Update report outline; identify your specific 

items that should be considered to be included

• Consider inviting a speaker to talk about critical 

infrastructure needs for IoT (security, privacy, 

etc.)

• Consider inviting a speaker for deploying IoT in 

brownfield implementations

• Ann - create comments re: device ID in form of 

email

• TomK - produce report summary on device 

identifiers

• Develop an updated proposed report outline (broader action) –

Benson, Debra, Mike

1. How should we organize the environment in the report, 

usage settings, etc.

2. Future of IoT

3. Personas, profiles of users, adopters, implementers, etc.

4. graphic/visual that organizes the content, the horizontals, 

the verticals, etc.

• Develop personas – Debbie, Nicole, Debra

• Develop draft content regarding “IoT definition/what is IoT/what it 

is not” to be placed in report – Mike, Steve, Tom

• Form and plan your small ad hoc groups (see list) - All

• Provide templates - NIST

• Forward any recommendations for potential future speakers - all

1. Susan Landau (Kevin)

• Next meetings planning and logistics – Barbara

• 125 Billion devices – where did that come from? NIST

• Market research report – can we get? Barbara to check on that
