 My name is Konstantin Kakaes. I'm a fellow here at New America. And I will introduce the introducers, so to speak. Thanks again for coming. I think it will be an interesting day of a conversation about many different issues revolving around drones and also other aerial platforms, such as balloons and kites. Although most of the day will be spent on drones, I wanted to thank Peter Rabli and Omidyar Network more generally for making all of this possible, along with Humanity United. And I think Peter will say a few words about the genesis of the project and where we're going. Thank you. Thanks, Konstantin. Good morning, everyone. That was lame. Good morning. All right. Very excited to be here. Thank you all for coming. Thank you very much to New America for hosting this, what I think will be an exciting event. As Konstantin mentioned, my name is Peter Rabli. And I lead the Property Rights Initiative at Omidyar Network. Omidyar Network is an impact investment firm started by Pam and Pierre Omidyar a number of years ago. And some of you may recognize the name. Pierre is the founder and current chairman of eBay and has dedicated his personal wealth for social impact. So we get to use the capital that he provides to do really interesting things for social impact. And one of the common threads at ON and that we pay great attention to is how technology can be leveraged to have social impact. So the idea of drones became an obvious potential solution for us when looking at property rights. And property rights for us are critical. And we know that many of the world's population have little or no property rights. And one of the main reasons is it's very hard and expensive to collect information about people and their rights and where they are on the Earth's surface. And drones for us open up potentially a very exciting opportunity for democratization of data collection, the empowerment of people to collect information about themselves and to go from being informal to being formal and to say I'm here and I'm not waiting for government and I'm not waiting for others. So the allure of this tool to allow that self-empowerment and the formalization of people by themselves is too great an opportunity to pass up, we think. And so the original idea was how do we get started in the first instance? What's going on, what's appropriate, what might work, what are the challenges? And so we sat down with Peter and his team to think about what might come first in thinking about drones as an appropriate tool for not only property rights, but human rights and other areas of development. And so the idea was born around this primer and I'm very happy with the result. I hope you've all had a chance to look at it or we'll do so in the next day or so and today's program I think should be an excellent way to begin to discuss this really important topic further. So thank you very much for coming, everyone. Peter. My name is Peter Bergen, I'm Vice President of New America, run the International Security Program. And I'm here, I'm a restorer of the CEO and President of New America would have liked to have been here but she threw her back out last night so she sends her regrets. I want to thank Peter Rabbly and Amity R for basically funding this project, it's they've been great partners and also Tina and Sarah Amora and Humanity United who also helped fund the project. And at New America I want to thank Constantine and Fein and also Emily Schneider who helped put this together and Patrick Meyer and Public Lab who also wrote chapters and also our partners at the Open Technology Institute, Kevin Banks and Alan Davison who's now at the Commerce Department and Commerce as Alan was just saying has a very active interest in this issue. We, just a quick word about New America for those who don't know, we're a nonpartisan think tank that was founded in 1999, we're about 150 people, we are presence in New York, Washington DC and also now on the West Coast. We have a very strong interest in technology, we've had a long interest in drones at least on the CI side of the house and Peter and the work that we were able to do in this primer has also opened the aperture as it relates to drones for us. We also do a lot of work in education, national security and in other areas. So we're very grateful that you've come today, we know you're very busy. I'm going to turn it over to Fein Greenwood who will moderate the first panel, thank you.
