- Their PingER MA is up and running and we are successfully gathering some data.
- However, there is a problem with not being able to find data in the requested time window.
- There is also a problem with a missing beacons.txt.
- Les is working with Amity, emails sent May 28th and June 3rd, 2018.
- Need to load most recent version of gathering application (ping_data.pl) to assist in diagnosing problem.
- It has been loaded
- However, now I cannot gather data or diagnose problems since there is no access to pingeramity.in/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl.
- Check if Amity can upload beacons.txt table from SLAC. They say they can
- Need to load most recent version of gathering application (ping_data.pl) to assist in diagnosing problem.
- The Android version of the PingER MA
- We are looking at how to store the data and set up a proxy

Looking into moving PingER to a "blockchain" database good for decentralizing distribution of data. Monitoring sites would then be able to write to a distributed ledger. This would change the architecture to a more peer to peer architecture. It helps with continuity of PingER since reduces dependence on a single site (SLAC). See Block Chain in Future PingER Projects. Bebo sent several references to Saqib who has looked at them. We could start with real-time data without including the whole archive, i.e. in parallel to the continued centrally managed archive. It would be a private Blockchain and hence not be as compute intensive as a public blockchain. Johari is also interested and will follow up with Bebo and Saqib.

insufficient understanding of the complexities in the causality argumentation and related findings.
Adib responds: we have addressed IEEE access reviewers' comments carefully. complexities and even validation validation can be further enhanced, but our data is a bit limited, we have only ten values for for each index. We have no data available for ALL indices in 2017 (the year this study was conducted), not even 2016. Values of all social economic indices re are only available in 2015. I would suggest to consider considering this point in our next paper, where we can update our internet performance data to 2018, and hopefully other indices data are available as well.
the relevant previous literature is not well addressed
Adib responds: Actually, we reduced LR session to minimize the paper size so it can meet the journal requirements. Adding more LR can be done, but then the size will be increased again. In fact, not many close and recent papers were published in this particular area. so it is not necessary to add more LR, especially we are not comparing our final model with them.
As a minor but still disturbing deficiency, references to the cited papers are incomplete.
Adib agrees and it is already amended
