[governance] Brazil, WSIS 10+ and ITU

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

*+ 1*

Deirdre's suggestion must be of interest to a sizable part of the CS. Many
meetings of that ilk are held at local or national level. It would require
more resources to reach an audience on a larger scale. A typical way to get
started at minimum cost is a workshop organized by invitation as a rider in
a well attended international conference where CS people are expected to
flock together.

Btw, São Paulo could be just that kind of opportunity. A critical size of
CS people should show up, with an excellent organizational capacity. One
might assume that a few meeting rooms would be made available by the local
hosts.

What do you think ?
