It's great news that RNIDS is ready to host SEEDIG 2016, especially in
conjunction with RIPE SEE meeting! But what about RIPE and the host of
Tirana meeting involvement? Is there anybody from RIPE or RASH in this
e-mail list?

I already did my best compliment to Sorina, Lianna, Iliya and Dusan. I am
extremely sorry for not mentioning Aida - I met her only in Belgrade, and
that is why I could not associate her with her excellent work - sorry again
and again(

I think we have dream team for SEEDIG, I would like to say once more
thousand of thanks to all of them for their fantastic volunteer work, and
endorse them for the next year! From my side, I am ready to help them in
any possible way  (first of all, by translating SEEDIG messages into
Russian/Ukrainian and by delivering them to IGF-UA (30 September) and Forum
"Media for information society" (probably 1 October).
