<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Another clarification with regard to Internet governance is needed for the period in which Lula presided Brazil, there was a Brazilian multilateral diplomatic position, which did not accept the Icann
<i>multistakeholdism</i>.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: Yes, they were locked in the mentality of the past. They did not understand the Internet and the more distributed governance
models emerging globally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">It must be said that President Dilma Rousseffi, the opening of the 68th General Assembly of the United Nations on 24 September 2013, held in the Brazilian diplomatic tradition one multilateralist discourse,
which advocated a democratic governance, multilateral and open. What <span style="color:#1F497D">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: “multilateral” meaning, “one country one vote,” which is of course extremely undemocratic. Because it means not only that all
the diversity within each nation-state is unrepresented, but also that undemocratic states have as much voting power as democratic ones. No thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">happened was a maneuver performed by the CGI-Br members to break the diplomatic tradition of Brazil and make a meeting coordinated by ICANN and I * that began to adopt
<i>multistakeholdist</i> ideology in the Sao Paulo meeting, the NetMundial. <span style="color:#1F497D">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: Yes, Brazil’s government seemed to (wisely) move toward acceptance of a multi-stakeholder approach. To dismiss this as a “maneuver”
by CGI.br (I guess they are not true Brazilians) seems to be a denial of reality. Or are you asserting that President Rousseff walked into the meeting completely ignorant of what was going on? But OK, duly noted: Mr. Pires joins Russia and Cuba in dissent
against the Netmundial meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The meeting failed when not discussed the policies to fight the mass surveillance carried out by the US, when not produced a single line on the asymmetric model for the roots server system, when not opted to
set a clear policy favorable to net neutrality.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: I was there, and recall many discussions of mass surveillance. And the attacks on the unilateral approach to the DNS were mooted
by the NTIA announcement that they would end it. There were no discussions of how to end it, but if you were paying attention there were many discussions of what should replace it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">To overcome the <i>multistakeholdist</i> ideology of NetMundial Iniciative, civil society organizations (as JNC), social movements in networks and public and private actors need to engage in fights and discussions
to build a new model of IG, which guarantee: a) a worldwide organization for Internet, that really represents the interests of all nation states

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: Wonderful. So it is not the people we want to represent, or even Internet users and suppliers, but “nation-states?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">and to ensure net neutrality and respect the Internet as a common good; b) a worldwide Internet statement that has as principle the protection of privacy, freedom of expression and to promote free and universal
access to the Internet and free software; c) a court with international <span style="color:#1F497D">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: …because, as we know, nation-states are so devoted to freedom of expression, privacy and free software!
