<br>
I want to strongly support Renata Avila's comments.<br>
<br>
While I am not based in LAC my organisation, Association for Progressive<br>
Communications has several members there and are part of a very active<br>
community. They include Derechos Digitales, Colnodo, Nupef, Nodo Tau,<br>
Radio Viva, Instituto Demos, EslaRed and Sula Batsu.<br>
<br>
Also going back in history, LAC civil society provided leadership in<br>
raising issues on media ownership and control, free and open source<br>
software and social justice and communications and human rights - during<br>
the WSIS and before and after.<br>
<br>
But of course these movements are never as inclusive as they should be,<br>
and people change (in governments and in civil society) so the process<br>
of creating and debate and awareness can never stop.<br>
<br>
