Dear people,<br>
<br>
First of all, thank you for the lively dialogue and the support for the<br>
letter to President Rousseff.<br>
<br>
She was quite happy to receive a congrats letter from CGI.br on her UN<br>
speech, and thrilled when I handed our letter telling her it was signed<br>
by more than 50 national and international CSOs in support of her<br>
statement at the UN. And we managed to do it in two days!<br>
<br>
Getting a warm hug from this valiant woman is no small thing, so I am<br>
still recovering from that crucial meeting.<br>
<br>
Attached is the PDF version of our document as delivered to her in print.<br>
<br>
I have to mention that in her discourse on Friday (the occasion was the<br>
launching of the new Portal Brasil -- <a href="http://brasil.gov.br" target="_blank">brasil.gov.br</a> --, still in beta)<br>
she taught us that, in relation to e-gov processes, each one of us<br>
should be just the same individual, while the government is many<br>
instances and different bureaucratic processes, and tends to treat us as<br>
different people every time we need different services.<br>
<br>
So, Rousseff said, the government ought to recognize this and treat each<br>
citizen as the same individual who does not need to go through strenuous<br>
specific procedures in order to obtain online government services. This<br>
is the design philosophy of the new Portal Brasil.<br>
<br>
Besides top ministers, the whole technical staff of Portal Brasil was at<br>
the meeting.<br>
<br>
fraternal regards<br>
<br>
