I just want to tell you that your blog is very interesting, bookmarked
Dear Sir,
Congratulation for this new job.
It was a great surprise for me this blog. It is an opportunity for ordinary people to talk “directly” with those who are trying to maintain the world secure and to get it to a peaceful one.
I also hope that NATO will develop a new strategy in recruiting personnel so, more younger people could easily apply for a job in NATO. In that conditions NATO will select the best persons for achieving the worldwide purpose: international peace and security.
Respectfully,

Dear Secretary General,
I would like to extend you a very warm welcome at the helm of this challenging organization. I am very much pleased to see that you bring a breath of fresh air, by bringing more transparency by means that are, to say at least surprising such as Facebook, Twitter, and a personal blog on the NATO website. I am aware that NATO is a political organization with a military core and that is a real challenge to have 28 Nations synched in one direction sometimes, and I’m sure that all the security concerns today, are at the top of your Agenda. However, I would like you to keep in the back of your mind also the civilians serving this organization. Even though NATO prides itself on being a career oriented organization for the civilian component, I believe that I share the feeling of many of my collegues when I say “au contraire”. The civilian component does retain an important chunk of the corporate knowledge that ensures a smooth support from the rear of all NATO operations. Because of the fact that this organization has a military core, the civilians are perceived as being more of an exception, an anomalie to the organization due to failures sometimes on part of Nations to force generate the necessary military personnel. I would like you to spare a few moments of your extremely busy Agenda and maybe bring the same refreshing attitude in looking towards the hardly visible, not so important civilians that serve this organization and now… you.
We have all our faith in you and we hope that you will be more than anyone expected you to be.
Godspeed sir.
Earlier we had 16 menbers country in Nato. Now I soppose it have grow to 28 menbers. Can Nato take more country. What about Georgia and Ukraina if the 6 earlier member og Sovjet are building their new “Wasava”. Im not sure but it was CST the name was if I remember right.
Dear Mr. Secretary General, congratulations for your new job.
Hopefully you will lead NATO into a more peaceful world, a better dialogue with the Arab states and Russia. As far as I know, many islamic people do not have a very good opinion of Denmarc, due to the Muhammed cartoons. I really hope that you are able to convince them, that we, the western world, do not want to be their enemies.
Please, be a good Secretary General for NATO… Because.. NATO means most to me…
First of all I congratulate You with Your ambition of bringing transparency to NATO. I will be looking forward to follow Your years as general secretary of NATO.
My question to You is:
Besides establishing good conditions in Afghanistan, what other objectives do You have for Your years in NATO?
Welcome to NATO. I read the notes from your first press conference. Sadly, I am probably one of the few Americans who take an interest in NATO. I was also involved in the previous Strategic Concept and subsequent Kosovo operations from SHAPE so I have seen the process from the inside. I currently teach about NATO as part of our military instruction. Few of my students see the synergy of NATO and instead relate personal stories about NATO selfisness/inefficiencies. The Europeans I talk to seem apathetic and unsold on why they should contribute to tough operations. I hope you will help to make a clearer case of the relevance of NATO to future stability. As you know from working with Greenland, climate change will cause huge disruptions which should be prepared for. I have some ideas but I understand it is your ideas that will carry the greater weight. A more vibrant communications strategy is probably most needed to accompany any efforts to readjust NATO. Good luck to you.
