<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many of you do not know me, so here's my
blurb.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have degrees in french litterature and
computer science. Beginning in 1985, I've started, operated and sold businesses
in IT consulting, prepress and graphic design, software localization and tech
writing. I am now a consultant in change management, as an advocate for
users in large IT projects.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a founding member of ISOC Québec and
have been serving on its board since 2002, currently as president. ISOC Québec
has been one of the instigators of ISOC Francophonie, an in-formation council of
ISOC chapters in the "francophonie". ISOC Québec's Adel El Zaïm or myself have
participated in WSIS since 2003, also representing ISOC Francophonie and, during
the recent PrepCom 3 and WSIS II, as ambassador for ISOC World.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am interested in global governance issues
(UN and world federalism) and in Internet governance. I am involved in
these because I believe local management of global challenges won't cut it until
it is realized with a global perspective, and also because, as a proudly naive
optimist, I see it as my duty to contribute ideas and actions that will make
this planet a better place for those that will come after me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am involved in MMWG because I think it is
an opportunity to improve the WSIS process. I was involved in WSIS because I saw
it as a historic turning point in Internet's development, marking the moment it
had become a common good and providing an opportunity to assess and
rethink its development in order to make it truly ubiquitous.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I fully subscribe to ISOC's mission
dedicated to promoting the open use of the Internet for all.</FONT></DIV>
