[governance] Legal Status of National IGFs

[Carlos Afonso]

Dear Arsene,

My understanding is that the national IGFs are events organized by many
groups of all sectors -- always present the idea of pluralist participation.

In practical terms, if there are sponsorships which involve money, it is
appropriate to have an organization to take care of this aspect and, of
course, be recognized by participants regarding proper accountability.

In Brazil this is easy -- CGI.br is the main sponsor and takes care of
most of the logistical/administrative matters through its NGO, NIC.br.
Each country will have its own peculiarities. Our organizing committee
is just this, a committee with participation of all sectors.

One important detail is to recall that the national events are
opportunities for structuring national governance dialogues' processes
-- in other words, the issues do not "die" with the end of each event,
and mechanisms to continue the dialogue are created.

fraternal regards

--c.a.
