[IGFmaglist] MAG Interim Chair

[Veronica Cretu]

Dear Markus, thanks for sharing these important updates with us!

I, personally, fully understand that there are other several important
commitments on your side, however, we will miss your leadership during the
2014. Thank you for all the guidance, support and constructive approach
during your term as the interim chair, and indeed, we look forward to build
up on that in order to make 2014 IGF at least as successful as the Bali
one!

Wishing you much success in your current and future initiatives!

With very best from Moldova,
Veronica
