Congrats, Cintra and all ISOC fellows. Cintra, there may be other workshops who end up needing remote moderators in the end. I am sure the secretariat would like to know of your willingness. Why don't you drop them a note at igf @ unog.ch to let them know, and see if you can . still sign up as a resource person as well, in case there are panelists with travel problems As an RP supporter, I thank you for your offer--I think it is quite possible someone will be glad to have your help.
