<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Dear Nnenna,<br><br></div>Firstly, I would like to thank you for your warm spirit and generosity, inclusivity, wisdom and maturity. I watched your speech via <span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KemK8YbHrI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KemK8YbHrI</a> </span>[<b>15:02 -25:37</b>] for those who may have missed it.<br>
<br></div>Thank you for opening your heart out to the community to add their input and you led the way by showing us what collaboration looks like, even though you did not have to. The philosophy behind speaks volumes.<br>
<br></div>As you stood in front of the Net Mundial community to speak, you spoke not only for civil society but for many more. You reached out and touched the core of the human spirit. Every stakeholder within the Internet Governance who was there or who will read the speech, now called "Nnenna's Speech" or watch the video will no doubt pause and reflect on the message you shared. I am thankful that you were one of the earlier speakers as you set the context and the tone. The<b> <span style="color:rgb(153,0,255)">Nnenna's Speech</span></b> is like the Gettysburg Address of the Internet - one that will be remembered and recorded in history.<br>
<br></div><div>As someone from Oceania/Pacific, I loved what you said about Access, Social and Economic Justice, Transparency, Open and Free internet, capacity building not for a few but for many etc. <br></div><div><br></div>
Setting the context and the tone before the beginning of a meeting is critical as it affects how the environment and discussions are managed. Yes, whilst I am far away in Fiji from you and the Net Mundial but I am with you in spirit and via technology. :):)<br>
<br></div>Merci Beacoup Nnenna!<br><br>Sala<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 6:27 AM, Dominique Lacroix <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dl@panamo.eu" target="_blank">dl@panamo.eu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
