First messages from State of The Net 2018 My Notes
I have taken a few notes while attending online State of the Net 2018 Conference. Below is my short list.

“Individuals and organizations from different realms participating alongside each other to share ideas or develop consensus policy.” end of quote from the article By Sally Shipman Wentworth, Vice President of Global Policy Development: The State of the Net Today – Why we must Act now for its Future |Internet Society.
