After 2 years intensive work, she handed over the organisation to Rudi Vansnick, who since 2000 has been working on the "ressurection" of Internet Society Belgium. March 2001 till November 2003 have been a period of silence, due to professional occupations and the change within the internet world.

We have been participating in INET2004 in Barcelona.
