Robert Steele is the Pro Bono Chief Enabling Officer of the Earth Intelligence Network.
He is VERY easy to get a hold of. @jamesc emailed Robert directly from his email listed on 6 different sites. Robert, though incredibly busy right now, wrote back and validated this account.

You could do the same or you can move along now. We're trying to do work on SteemIt, but everyday that goes by, the comments received so far suggest that this climate is NOT good for Intelligence work. Perhaps SteemIt is NOT a good platform afterall.
