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.

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!
