[IRPCoalition] Thank you!

[minda moreira]

Dear all, 

I hope this email finds you well.
It was great to meet some of you in Paris last month. It was a very successful IGF for the outreach work of the Coalition and new projects such as the Cities For Digital Rights which joined our IRPC Meeting discussion, illustrate the relevance of the Charter and the importance of keeping it alive and thriving. The reports and transcripts of the sessions are now available in the IGF website and we will be uploading full reports in the IRPC website very soon.  

Our ongoing translations of the Charter are also part of the outreach effort, and we are pleased that Russian and French translations  are  ready.  We hope we will be able to have them both available online and offline in the near future.

I would like to thank you all for your contributions this year and in particular to Steering Committee members Catherine and Sahaj who are ending their terms now, and  also to Hanane and Robert who are continuing for another year. It has been a pleasure to work with you all and a privilege to co-chair with Marianne in her final year and to whom I am especially grateful for all the support, dedication and hard work. 

The nominations and the election process for new members for the Steering Committee and a new co-chair are fast approaching; the official call for nominations will be sent out very soon.

I hope that some of you will be interested and able to join as members of the Steering Committee or co-Chair to support the Coalition and its outreach efforts keep the Charter present, relevant and influential.

Looking forward to working with you all in the next year!

Best wishes,
Minda
