There were 27 subscribers to this list when the first message was sent by
Adiel Akplogan on October 26th, 2013.
• The objectives evolved into an “open, global online discussion about
Internet governance”, under a platform named /1net . The original mailing
list transitioned into ‘discuss@1net.org’ on December 19th, 2013.
• By December 31st, 2013, the [discuss] mailing list had 566 subscribers.
