March 31 marks the end of the first quarter in 2007, it's also the day two 'digital warriors' from Malaysia shall end their respective tour of duty for Digital Democracy.

Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi shall end his term as the Chairman of the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) in ICANN, a position he has held since 2002, Sharil has been the liaison from the GAC to the ICANN Board, and Malaysia's 'unofficial' ambassador to global Digital Democracy.

Whereas, Prof (Adjunct) Tony Lee will pass on the baton as the chairman of the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia (CMCF). He was the pioneer and first chairman of CMCF, a mandatory set up for industry self-regulation under the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998. Lee has held the post for the last six years (OK, make that eight, if his two years leading the pro-tem committee of CMCF were to be taken into account).

It is visibly going to be a tough call for Malaysia to find equitable replacements for these two home-bred 'digital warriors'.
