level, a great recognition from my role model and peers in the region.<br>
I have been dedicated to creating awareness and understanding in order<br>
to ensure that our region contributes meaningfully in global internet<br>
governance and policy processes and hope to continue to do so as<br>
internet governance becomes more and more significant." says Alice<br>
