The Privy Council (honorary)

Once you have served your time as a figurehead on the Council, you are elevated to the Privy Council: still consulted, no longer on duty. They helped build and spread the idea in the early years; they are not active day to day anymore, but their contributions still run through the project.

• Michael Schloh von Bennewitz (michael.schloh.com) — co-founder of IoTempire.
• Daniel Plotrino (LinkedIn) — author and IoT consultant.
• Chris Bennett (LinkedIn) — author and innovation lawyer.
• Reed Griffith (reedgriffith.com) — author and artist.
• Dalton Oliviera (wardston.com) — author and IoT evangelist.

These are open, community-driven projects. If you would like to get involved, reach out to anyone above or start in our communities.
