As we use this IDRN Global Village platform, please remember that first steps rarely looks like the final destination. It’s one thing to describe a vision, but it’s another to build it. Now that the Global Village is live, we can all see what works and what needs improving.

To be clear, this platform is not the entire network we envision—it’s just one of the most visible pieces, and it has only just begun. You will find things that are unclear or confusing. That’s to be expected.

Our goal now is to move forward together. So please, try out the systems we have in place. Post relevant news links, or share valuable resources you rely on, or simply start a conversation. Our community already has some really high-quality people registered in this space.

The bottom line is this: the Global Village will improve, but only with your engagement. Thank you for giving it a chance and for being a vital part of IDRN.
