this has been quite a right and it's
been a successful journey that we did
together I'm almost four years into this
journey that you entrusted me to join
you on and I think success was really a
product of our work together for those
of you who were with us in prague in
june 2012 i remember sharing with you
that i really hope that as we work
together we build i can as an oasis not
as a fortress and it happens to be that
today on my last meeting with you we are
sitting on the largest oasis in North
Africa 24,000 palm trees surround this
wonderful place and what a great symbol
of the Oasis that I can is for my
African colleagues can tell you that an
oasis is open it has no walls it's
welcoming it's attractive we want to go
to an oasis it gives us life it gives us
purpose and here we are standing on a
beautiful oasis today now as i'm leaving
you i recall the poet Gibran Khalil
Gibran who said that the mountain is a
lot clearer from the plane so as I start
stepping away and I look back at this
community I urge you to stand with me
just for a moment and look at what we
have because it's different I just met
coming in this morning an ambassador who
is coming here for the first time
accompanying the minister from their
country and asking what is this it's
different what happens here
so let me tell you madam ambassador what
you have here what you have here is a
group of people who volunteer their time
to build a resource for everyone and
it's unique there's nothing like it the
magic of this community is unmatched and
when you come in it feels different well
how do you make decisions what is this
consensus thing bottom out all these
words we use because we live here so
like you madam ambassador I came to this
community for years ago and I asked the
same questions and the answer is just
marvelous it's a model we call
multi-stakeholder and not very pretty
word think were complex work but it's
not the word that matters it's the
spirit behind this word the spirit of
working together making things happen
for a resource today that is fueling a
four point two trillion dollar economy
just in the g20 countries the resource
that when Vince Irfan Steve Crocker and
Bob Kahn and all these great engineers
who gather quietly humbly every year in
this thing we call the IETF have built
continued to build with humility with
effectiveness this is what we do here we
actually bring together a resource that
serves everyone and the world doesn't
understand how we do it so I tell them
come look at this beautiful room we have
1,200 seated people here and thousands
more watching these are the people who
come to make the magic now I often
thought what drove me one of you in this
room wrote me once a text she knows who
she is and she asked me what drives you
what makes you get up every morning and
keep doing this and I'm still doing it I
was up to 1am with some
you yesterday trying to advance this and
make it happen its purpose and what is
our purpose what is the purpose of this
organization well the best answer to
that is to go back to those that started
this organization and I looked at some
purpose driven organizations before
procter & gamble why do you think
Procter & Gamble the great American
consumer products company was created
because Procter & Gamble the two Irish
boys coming off from their country to
the US said there are many soldiers
dying in the trenches we need to figure
out how to stop the diseases so they
made soap their purpose was to save the
boys what is our purpose well I came and
learned with you that our purpose comes
from within those who started this and
when I searched for it the best picture
I had for it is jon postel jon was
driven by a purpose I'm not going to
tell you what it is but you will you all
know what it is you taught me what it is
I shared with the staff in my parting
meeting with them that when the war
started in Lebanon it was 1975 I was 13
years old and my dad came home one day
and he said to my mom where's fatty he
said oh I don't know how to explain this
to you but the malicious picked him up
this afternoon to go learn to use
weapons and my dad went crazy he said I
don't want that boy to use weapons she
said we had no choice they took him from
the house so he came and picked me from
the camp and drove me up to the main
highway between Beirut and Damascus and
he stopped the first Laurie he found he
told him take my son to Damascus and put
him on a one-way plane
to Geneva get him out of here and I'm 13
my dad put me on this lorry this truck
and I had no idea where I'm going and I
remember looking at my dad and I said
where am I going where are you sending
me this is home and he said remember go
and remember what you believe in what is
your purpose and I said what is it and
the truck is leaving and i'm asking him
an existential question I'm 13 and he
said I can't tell you it's in you it's
in you and this community has purpose
within it that was planted early by the
selfless humility of the engineers who
built this let's keep this spirit it's
magical I meet governments I meet
powerful people but at the end we are
all looking for purpose you know the
Stanford neurosurgeon who just passed
away and wrote the book that you should
all read cold when breath becomes air
died in the in his 30s he wrote in his
book that man is made to strive for a
purpose and if we don't we become like a
painting a tiger without stripes so
let's keep striving let's keep our
purpose let's keep this magic it's
wonderful and I will take it everywhere
I go it's enriched me in ways I will
never ever forget ever recently which I
don't do much i sat down to write
something I was feeling so I wrote it
down and you know I rarely read anything
but I'll read it to you
I was in the middle of one of these
difficult moments that I can wear
process was weighing on me and as you
know i'm impatient and I want to get
things done but that I can I learned
that process is sacred is important so I
wrote this process is the guarantor of
our core values consensus first
bottom-up fact-based accountable and
impeccably iguala Therrien but then i
wrote spirit however is the bond of our
community trust based transparent
inclusive free and deeply empathetic if
we do not adhere to our processes we
jeopardize our legitimacy however if we
lose our spirit we will fall apart and
join the long list of institutions that
prioritized procedural purity over our
character and principles so process is
precious but spirit is sacred balancing
them wisely is the only assurance of our
continued success and the soul of our
impressive multi-stakeholder community
so with this I bid you farewell I will
be the best cheerleader for you I will
still travel around the world and tell
people that I touched this great
community that I had the privilege of
working with you of sensing the magic of
this multi-stakeholder community thank
you very much thank you for the
opportunity
better
