The Coordinators of the Digital Humanitarian Network currently are:

• Cat Graham, Humanity Road
• Kate Chapman, Humanitarian Open-Street-Map Team
• Luis Capelo a volunteer member of the SBTF (not official representation)
• Willow Brugh, Geeks Without Bounds

The purpose of the DHNetwork Coordinators is to handle requests for activation. This means communicating activation requests to all members of the network and making recommendations on which member or group of members is best suited to take on the request. This recommendation would act as an initial conversation starter and should not be considered a final suggestion and/or endorsement by the coordinators. Activation requests are shared via email and posted on the DHNetwork's Forum page which is accessible to all members of the network.

The DHNetwork Coordinators are a group composed of four members at any given time and for the period of one year. The Coordinators are volunteers. They are required to be 100% objective and their responsibility in the activation request process is to the DHNetwork rather than any networks/groups they may represent.

The co-founders of the DHNetwork are:

• Andrej Verity, UN-OCHA
• Patrick Meier, iRevolution
