Before I hand over the floor, let me extend my heartfelt thanks to some of the people who have
worked so hard to make this event the best FerMUN ever.

First and foremost, I want to recognize our extraordinary, tireless and inspirational FerMUN
Director, Florence Baudry. Florence, please stand and take a bow.

My warmest thanks also go to FerMUN President Philippe Launay, and to his colleagues Alan
Ackroyd, Jean-Loup Kastler, Sophie Zory, and Sceckhspeer Fergach. You are all, quite simply,
amazing.

I commend Gessienne Grey for her truly outstanding leadership as this year’s FerMUN Secretary-

General. Gessienne, please stand and take a bow.
Congratulations to

Anaëlle Cathelineau, our DSG for Chairs, who also led our special session on Child Online
Protection yesterday;

and to the rest of the FerMUN Board: Jeremy Vial and Océane Plaza in Communications;

Imtinane Mhoumadi, Head of Translation;

Ruben Crawford, Head of Interpretation; and

On the ITU side, very special thanks and appreciation go to Sylvia Poll, our fantastic ITU FerMUN

team leader;

Protection;

Let me also take a moment to thank all the ITU experts who gave freely of their time to assist on
content issues, and of course the internal ITU services that supported this huge event, from

Repro and Graphic Design to Badging and Registration, Security, Interpretation, and of course
the energetic team at the ITU Cafeteria.
