Also, what is a "Solutions Architect/Infrastructure Architect"?

I design networks and systems that exist between stakeholders, vendors and support providers and internal IT groups as well as design the network infrastructure itself (Logical data flow, physical structure etc etc). Last project was to design and implement a network to provide tele-health and network services to 100 health centres in native communities throughout the province where I live utilizing a large provincial network called the SuperNet.

Dang, impressive. Also, it honestly sounds kinda nerdy. Which means the people interviewing you might be kind of nerdy? In which case, include it. (I would go with the other's suggestion though, of presenting it Briefly and with an emphasis on the skills.)

I volunteered for a presidential campaign and put that on my resume-- I scrubbed the paragraph a lot to be very broad and not contain any hints about which presidential candidate I was helping, and tried to focus on the actual skills. (Lots of customer service and communication with a very tired and over-campaigned Iowan voter population.) I think it helped, I got some opportunities in interviews to talk about the experience. I would have a good "story" about your item ready, some kind of EVE-online HR dilemma that is easily translatable to the real world.
