[IGFmaglist] Call for contributions Taking Stock

[Lea Kaspar]

Hi Chengetai,

Thank you for your efforts and keeping us informed - all of us, myself
included, appreciate the work of the Secretariat and the position you're
in. Hopefully, we can find a solution that works for most MAG members and
the community at large. (Regarding the dates, the original ones still work
best for me and it's a shame we can't find a way around the venue problem,
but I do understand that this is not fully in the hands of the Secretariat.)

Looking forward to the announcement from our colleagues from Mexico.

Best wishes,
Lea
