Many thanks to our readers, both old and new, from civil society, industry and governments all over the world. Interest in IGP's work continues to grow dramatically, visits were up
over 70% in 2009. Reflecting the growth of the Internet and those
impacted by its governance, two-thirds of IGP's visitors come from
outside the United States (although Washington DC is definitely
following us). The greatest growth is among the BRICs, with visits from
China up over 8000%. Here's to another year of in-depth coverage and analysis of global Internet governance developments!
