<p>Both are right Adam & Carlos . LA&C area are not too poor to get the attention of the world. We really need to have more information as well as have a clear position about IGF related to ICANN - <br />there is or not sponsorship from ICANN for some members?, then who? why? when make suggestions? who will analyze the suggestions and define who will be there.<br />we are member of one community, we need to go to IGF is some way representing this community. <br />or work to find another sponsorship for our group, independent of ICANN.<br />kisses<br />vanda <br /><br /><br /></p>
