<font face="Verdana">Thanks for the lovely words to me as outgoing
co-coordinator. But even more, thank you for the opportunity to
work with all of you as IGC co-coordinator. I accepted the
responsibility with trepidation, but found it was a very
rewarding</font>, constructive learning process. I found the
membership more supportive, and more importantly, more forgiving
than I expected--strong points for our future. A co-coordinator's
success depends on the members' work, and I thank you all for your
ideas, thoughts, patience and support during the last two years. <br>
<br>
Ian was an ideal co-coordinator to learn from and again I thank
him for his patient guidance and example.<br>
<br>
During these two years we have overcome some low points, and
matured during the process. Our future discussions, work, and
insistence will help turn ideas into concrete action both within
the IGC (reviewing membership, charter and voting, etc.) and in
the IG/IGF process. Jeremy's energy and expertise will actively
implement those projects, if timely input builds a consensus on
their direction.<br>
<br>
The current discussions bode well for action by the IGC. I also
urge everyone to actively work in the IGC with Jeremy and our new
co-coordinator in improving the IG and IGF processes in the
different fora that are available to us. In particular, I suggest
that we move towards more active and visible support of the work
of our members and their organizations when appropriate.<br>
<br>
Gracias, thank you, merci,<br>
Ginger<br>

is a space for discussing ideas and concepts from Diplo’s
teaching and research activities. Our activities focus on three
main areas: Internet governance, diplomacy, and global
governance. In September, we DISCUSS: a) network neutrality:
hype and reality, b) the IGF experience: what can policy makers
learn from the IGF, and c) the history of the Internet. Let us
know if you have suggestions about ideas and concepts that
should be discussed.</div>
