[icann-see] [Was: Apply now Balkan School on Internet Governance] Few questions to consider

[Michael Oghia]

Hi Sorina,

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!

And as an individual SEEDIG community member, I will say that I support
increased collaboration whenever possible to achieve shared goals and
promote Internet governance throughout the region, in which ever way that
can manifest. Some individuals in Eastern Europe are thinking of launching
a school there, so it might be unnecessary to have a dedicated SEE+ school,
for instance. Instead, it might be better to support new and existing
initiatives.

Best,
-Michael
