<font size="+1">I echo Anja's comments and thank you for the thanks
to the outgoing MAG CS members.<br>
<br>
It is not easy being on the MAG and making a difference :)<br>
<br>
But some of us did, and, we would not have been able to if not for
all the support from civil society people who are not on the MAG
but who provide advice and support.<br>
<br>
So thank you to all those volunteers as well. They know who they
are.<br>
