I am very pleased to be <br>
selected as a Mentor for the IGF-DCAD Fellows this year. It certainly <br>
will build on my positive Mentoring experience in 2023. I look forward <br>
to contributing to the Fellowship Committee and to supporting and <br>
encouraging Fellows at the IGF.<br>
<br>
I also wanted to share that I was honored to be selected as a member of <br>
the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) for this year's IGF.<br>

One of the key roles of a MAG member is to advise and help organise this <br>
year's event. I have been raising accessibility regularly. This is an <br>
important time for the IGF in its 20th year in many ways, one of them <br>
being decisions to be made about renewing IGF's mandate.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Gunela Astbrink<br>
