[cooperation-wg] cooperation-wg Digest, Vol 53, Issue 16

Hi all,

Corinne: Yes, please do post a summary. I am interested in knowing what was
said.

Johan: Your points definitely do not fall on deaf ears. You are right! I
think important for more to be done in terms of capacity building at the
governmental level. Of course, this incites a point of frustration for some
in the technical community in that it seems government reps don't always
(or sometimes) listen.

The good question to brainstorm is what can we as a community do to help
politicians and others in government better understand the technology or at
the very least, take part in the discussions and listen to the community's
point of view?

Best,
-Michael
