Fri Jan 17 15:56:21 EET 2014

Hi Antoine,
I am wondering if you received the offlist email from Ian, answering some
of your concerns? If you have any further points, please let me know. Just
for your information, the results were published by me, at
www.diplointernetgovernance.org
(same as the call for nominations).

Here is the blurb on the Diplo IG home page, posted on January 15, just
after midnight, beginning of day, with links to the whole post.
