Dear Barrack, Thank you so much for the kind words. The Youth IGF continues to thrive because of the back up and support of KICTANET and many others in this list.

Dear Colleagues,
The IGF 2022 Youth Track culminated with the IGF 2022 Global Youth Summit hosted in Addis Ababa. Dozens of Youth IGFs and young people delegated by the national, sub-regional and regional IGFs worked hard throughout the year to unpack policy aspects of digital transformation. Long-term, the track resulted in wonderful connections between young leaders from around the world.
Several important messages youth sent to the world shortly after the Global Youth Summit. Thanks to the rapporteurs* (**Ines Hfaiedh, Cynthia Chepkemoi, Thoko Miya, Elisabeth Schauermann, Stella Teoh,* *Ananda Gautam, Phyo TL and Afi EDOH**) *the messages are available at the IGF website. They are an integral part of the final IGF 2022 Summary Report, which is now being formatted. It will be widely disseminated to stakeholders across the world. Please see the *messages here* <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/filedepot_download/257/24058>.
*How do we want to shape the IGF 2023 Youth Track based on the experience and lessons learnt from this year? Please do share your advi**c**e to guide us through the **IGF Takingstock Call* <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/taking-stock-of-igf-2022-and-suggesting-improvements-for-igf-2023>* open until **16 January 2023**.*
I use this opportunity to thank all of you for active support to youth track, to all the youth IGF leaders involved in the organization of the track, *listed here* <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-youth-track>, to all the speakers, moderators and rapporteurs of the four capacity development workshops and the Global Youth Summit.
Best regards, Anja
