[icann-see] Few questions to consider

[Sorina Teleanu]

Dear Sonia, Narine, and all,

Once again, I would like to thank you for contributing to this discussion
and sharing your views on the types of capacity development activities that
SEEDIG could further engage into, as a way to address existing needs within
the region (from digital literacy to broader Internet governance issues).

Speaking again as an individual member of the SEEDIG executive committee, I
really am glad to see your input, as well as your willingness to contribute
to putting into practice the various ideas raised here.

At this point, I would like to assure you that all your input is well
noted. I will be consulting my colleagues on this in the coming period, and
I hope we will be able to come back to you with further feedback and
suggestions relatively soon.

Meanwhile, I am kindly encouraging everyone else to follow-up on this
thread and contribute additional views and ideas.

Best regards,

Sorina
