[IGFmaglist] Fwd: Invitation for Ms Lynn St Amour

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Dear Lynn

Thank you for this reply and clarification.
While there are different views in any stakeholder group, I believe your
point about the importance about always talking about IGF and helping
people engage in it - not just for MAG but all IGF community - will be well
understood this time.

Best,

Renata
