Our work to make Twitter a safe, informative place will be moving faster and more aggressively than ever before and we will continue to welcome your ideas going forward about how to achieve this goal. We will also continue to explore opportunities to provide focussed and timely input into our work, whether through bilateral or small group meetings.

Your regional points of contact will remain the best people to contact to escalate concerns, please let us know if you need reconnecting.

With best wishes,
