Dear GKD Members,
We would like to extend our very deep thanks to the members who sent us
messages describing the value GKD provides in their efforts to use ICT for
sustainable development. Your words have been both extremely heartening
and helpful. We also greatly appreciate the kind words members have
offered to the GKD moderators.
GKD represents that very best of high quality online collaboration,
substantive knowledge exchange, and valuable policy and program
discussions. The success and value of GKD ultimately depends on the
contributions of the GKD members, who bring a sophisticated, thoughtful,
and experienced perspective to each topic under discussion. The fact that
GKD has emerged as *the* source of knowledge on the use of ICT for
development is recognition of every GKD member who has made a contribution
to the four-and-a-half year discussion.
We also want to emphasise the essential role that members of the GKP --
UNDP, the World Bank and UNESCO -- have played in supporting GKD. Without
the commitment of individuals within these organisations, GKD could not
have survived for these many years. They have provided not only financial
support, but also dedication to GKD's open and free exchange, and the high
quality of substantive discussion. We are extremely grateful for their
support and their efforts, which have helped to make GKD a trusted source
of information and open dialogue.
Tomorrow GKD goes on vacation for the month of August. We are hopeful that
during this period we will identify support for GKD's continuation into
the future. Again, we wish to express our profound thanks to the GKD
members. To those who are going on holiday, we wish you a wonderful,
relaxing month. To those who are not, we hope you have a productive month.
Members are welcome to send message during August that they wish to be
posted as of 7 September, when GKD resumes.
With warmest regards and thanks,
GKD Moderators
