There are a number of different groups of people involved in the development of the UN Influx story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chief Organiser

Max Kalis works in digital innovation for Lloyds Banking Group for the last 3 years. Having explored the relationship between the UN and public via studying at the UN University (Tokyo) and a Msc in Global Politics at LSE he has decided it would be appropriate to apply the practices of digital innovation to the UN model. While Influx existed before as development of a weighted voting and relative sovereignty model for the UN he has decided to be less prescriptive and explore a wider, more collaborative  range of means to help the UN to be all it can be.

Max works for the UN Influx Hackathon, on behalf of the Influx Trust (registered UK charity 1155172), whose aims are the same as the UN Influx work. The Influx Trust trustees are:
