 Thanks Sorina! Your rationale about the point related to cybersecurity makes sense. As the proposer of the edits, I am in agreement with you and also want to stress that it was merely a suggestion. I do, however, appreciate the idea of addressing it at a later time with the wider community, as it is an important aspect of expanding e-commerce and e-government services.
On another note, I want to also stress to the SEEDIG community that I have (very) happily relocated to Belgrade, and I plan to be here for the foreseeable future. So, please feel free to include me in relevant events or fora, regardless if the language of the function is Serbian or another Balkan language. It's my pleasure to be a resource for the community in Southeastern Europe.
Best,-Michael

Dear all,
We are glad to inform you that SEEDIG's contribution to the IGF inter-sessional programme on Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion has been finalised and submitted to the IGF Secretariat.
We would like to thank all those who have commented on the draft version previously shared via this list. The final contribution (attached) incorporates most of the proposed edits and suggestions. With regard to the comments on the connection between cybersecurity and the digital divide, we have decided not to add any additional text on this in our submission, for two reasons: the issue has not been addressed during the digital divide session at the SEEDIG meeting, and we think this is a rather complex matter that would require further consideration from the broader community (possible in the context of future SEEDIG activities).
Please feel free to make use of this contribution and distribute it within your communities.
Best regards,
Sorina(on behalf of SEEDIG executive committee)

Subject: Draft SEEDIG contribution to the IGF intersessional work - Call for comments. DL: 12 Sept.
To: icann-see at rnids.rs


Dear all,
Although we have not received any input in response to the call below, we have given it a try ourselves and prepared a draft SEEDIG contribution to the IGF inter-sessional programme on Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion. This draft contribution is a reflection of the discussions held during the digital divide session at SEEDIG 2016.
Before submitting it to the IGF Secretariat, we would like to share this draft with you and kindly ask for your feedback. You can make comments and edits on the text directly (please use track changes), or send us your suggestions by email, via this list. 
Please note that the draft contribution is merely an extensive summary of the afore-mentioned session. It does not claim to provide a comprehensive overview of the situation in SEE and the neighbouring area when it comes to access and digital divide. However, should you wish to add new points to what is now included in the draft, you are welcome to do so.
The deadline for comments is next Monday, 12 September. 
Thank you and we hope to hear from you.
Best regards,
Sorina
