Dear Narine, all:

Those are all good points as well, thank you. I'd also add it's important
to consider how we can leverage the experience and perspective we have in
the SEE region, especially how it relates to different variations in issues
experienced by the larger European region (censorship and restriction of
free expression particularly come to mind).

On another note, something I apologize for not reiterating before is that
the website is very well-designed and intuitive. Dusan, you and the team
did a great job at designing and programming it. Kudos!

Best,
-Michael
