<div>Dear Jeremy,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Congratulations for this work!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was one of those who asked for improvements in the IGC web site, so I thank you and the team for this huge effort.</div>
<div><br>Only one suggestion at the moment, is that the site would have translation -at least to spanish, french, portuguese- an then to as many languages as possible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think that this caucus must not be anglosaxon´s only -including in this category to all of those that can read, speak, write and work in english even when it is not their first language.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes and thanks again,</div>
<div>Roxana</div>

<div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Phase 2 of the improvements that I've been undertaking to the IGC Web site are complete. These include:
<div><br></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>A single interface for subscribing to the list and registering on the Web site, which also adds your details to an IGC membership database (subject to eligibility). I have fixed the LDAP errors that some people encountered when registering, and made that the correct information is now listed for everyone.</li>
<li>Everyone now has the ability to create <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/blog" target="_blank">personal blog posts</a> directly on the IGC Web site. The latest headlines from these are listed on the front page. To post to your blog, just log in to the site and then click "Create content" in the left hand column, then "Blog entry".</li>
<li>There is a new <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/wiki" target="_blank">Resources page</a> which is editable as a wiki. You can also upload documents there. Instructions are given on that page.</li>
<li>Click on the name of any contributor to the site (when you are logged in), and you can see their profile, including their organisation and Web site (if provided). Later, the list of members will also be hyperlinked to member profiles.</li>
<li>There is a <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/privacy" target="_blank">privacy policy</a>. Please check this out to make sure that it is OK. If you have any changes to suggest, please post them to the list.</li>
<li>Besides the Twitter feed that I added last time, headlines from external Internet governance blogs are now also included in a column on the front page.</li></ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I've moved the list of recent IGC statements to the centre column of the Web site, to more clearly indicate that the centre contains official resources and the right column contains feeds from the broader community.</li>
</ul></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There's a lot more that could be done, but that will do for now. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Some help is needed:</span></div>

<li>First and most importantly, we need a deputy Web administrator, who can share the load of building and maintaining our Web and database software, and take over from me when I'm unavailable. Some knowledge of Web content management software (Drupal and/or Wordpress) is desirable, and knowledge of databases (SQL and/or LDAP) and languages (HTML and PHP or Perl) would be beneficial too.</li>
<li>The Twitter and blog feeds could use with more diversity. At the moment Twitter is just sourced from posts tagged "#igf". If you have a Twitter list that would be a better source of relevant posts than this, let me know. Also, if you have an Internet governance blog that should be added to the feeds we are aggregating (a list of which is at <a href="http://igf-online.net/gregarius" target="_blank">http://igf-online.net/gregarius</a>), let me know.</li>
