[IGFmaglist] MAG Interim Chair

[Peter Major]

Dear Markus,

 

I understand, but regret your decision. It was great working with you again.
We will miss you in MAG, but I am sure you'll be around in the  IG Ecosystem
and will have plenty of opportunity to discuss with you. 

 

 

Best regards,

 

Peter

Dear all, 

 

I thought I would let you know that I informed UNDESA's
Assistant-Secretary-General Thomas Gass that due to other commitments I will
not be available as this year's Interim Chair.

 

I also expressed the Internet Society's concern about the delay in the
appointment of the Special Advisor to the Secretary-General on Internet
Governance. We share the view expressed by many on this list that it is
urgent to appoint someone to provide political leadership to the IGF,
especially during this crucial 2014/15 period. Relying indefinitely on a
stop-gap measure is not sustainable.

 

Let me conclude by thanking you all for your support and the excellent
cooperation we enjoyed throughout the past months. Together we succeeded in
making the Bali meeting the best IGF meeting ever. 2014 will be a decisive
year for the IGF in a rapidly evolving Internet governance landscape. If the
IGF is to retain its relevance, Istanbul needs to reach new heights!

 

I wish you you much success in preparing the 2014 IGF and making it the best
ever!

 

Best regards

Markus
