Thanks, Al!
I am also proud that four Asian-pacific persons were selected in this
process. Again, I appreciate all our Asian friend's endeavor for
nomination, endorsements. Also, I should say particularly Avri's excellent
and committed leadership made it happen. Like all of us, I hope that UN
would take this suggestion into account more seriously for moving forward
IGF.
If we could be picked finally - it may be still very unclear, I believe we
should represent our real concerns as Asians rather than our personal
capacity. And I will try to become more brave souls as Al encouraged.
Thank you Al, I am always surprised at your continued and energetic
contributions!
regards,
Chun Eung Hwi
