Greetings International Dzogchen Community Members,

Thank you for your positive feedback on our call for moderators for Norbunet 2.0. We will soon go live with Norbunet 2.0 and we are very happy to announce that we have just appointed the first Norbunet 2.0 moderator, Liudmyla Radchenko.

We still need one more moderator, so please don’t hesitate to send us your curriculum vitae to [email protected]. Alternatively, if you know someone who may be a good fit, feel free to share this message.

Moderators will be responsible for ensuring that all content posted in Norbunet 2.0 aligns with IG guidelines. The role requires basic computer skills, a solid command of written English, and an understanding of the subtle nuances of communication. This is an important opportunity to help maintain Norbunet as a valuable and effective communication tool for the Dzogchen Community.

Thank you for your consideration and your support, and for your willingness to give a hand to the International Dzogchen Community.

Best wishes,

The International Gakyil and the Norbunet 2.0 team
