<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>
