<span>As at yesterday night, which was really early this morning, I was still exchanging mails with you. I no longer speak a whole lot on this list for some reasons that we have mentioned at one time or another: the undermining, the attack, the heavy flow of
email, some listers' overbearing attitude etc</span></div>

<span>It is true that so many things are wrong with the IGC list at the moment, and we are all aware of it. Maybe we have not had the opportunity to say it openly, but here are a few truths:</span></div>
<ol>
<li><span>The IGC is the widest, oldest Civil Society network that has followed the WSIS and the IG issues</span></li><li><span>We have a history, of collaboration, of team work and of producing joint actions</span></li><li><span>We chose you and Sala. We did, because we felt you two are good, qualified and have the personality to lead us</span></li><li><span>Being the IGC Coordinator is not a small task, the proof is that not many can/want to step into your shoes.</span></li><li><span>We recognise that IGC Coordinatorship is tasking: time wise, emotionally, physically, bandwidth wise, health wise and even financially.</span></li></ol>

I have been on this list before it was created. When the caucus was hosted elsewhere, before we ever drafted a charter...</div>

I'm somehow part of the silent majority and I'm happy to answer the question "why are you no longer contributing to IGC?" if anybody asks me.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:10.6667px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">
So on behlalf of some of the silent majority, who still believe in your leadership, in your energy, who appreciate your contribution..</div>

I ask that you reconsider.</div>
