Toomas Hendrik Ilves was the President of Estonia fro, 2006 to 2016.  From
Wikipedia "*In 2013 he chaired the High-Level Panel on Global Internet
Cooperation and Governance Mechanisms convened by ICANN
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICANN>. From 2014 to 2015 Ilves was the
co-chair of the advisory panel of the World Bank
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Bank>'s World Development Report
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Development_Report> 2016 "Digital
Dividends" and was also the chair of World Economic Forum
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum>'s Global Agenda
Council on Cyber Security beginning in June 2014. Beginning in 2016, Ilves
has been co-chairing The World Economic Forum
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum> working group '**The
Global Futures Council on Blockchain Technology'." *Should be an
interesting fireside chat with Dean Janow.

The Global Digital Futures Forum is somewhat pared down in length from
previous years, but not in strength. High-level, as always.
