<p class="MsoNormal">Good that you sent an updated bio Jo, I was about to do that when I saw Ian's email. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am very happy about the nominations, but I would invert the order of possible. Having a Brazilian at the end, as we had Grace and Burcu as CS for closing ceremony, is VERY important politically.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not just for CS, but actually more as a opportunity to have the closing speech also refer to national issues and ask specific commitments from the Brazilian policy makers there. As Joana is incredible aware, since she is deeply involved
in the discussions, folks are trying to puncture Marco Civil and cut back on other digital rights in Brazil... We - the digital rights community - lost a lot of attention due to all the political corruption that has take over all the media attention. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We need to have Joana - as a Brasilian - putting the "country" against the wall in front of everybody. And I feel the closing ceremony is better for that purpose.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am saying all this without having spoken with Joana. So, I am not sure if she is available. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Thanks, Ian and everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I cannot express how honored I'm for this nomination. I hope I can respond to the task with the bright it entails.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As soon as nomination is confirmed I will share a pad for people to bring inputs. Will already be dreaming with some insights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Just a correction in my institutional presentation as I'm not CTS for more then 1 and half year now :):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'm founder director and creative chaos catalyst of Coding Rights, a women lead think-and-do tank with the mission to bring hackers, geeks, artists, researchers and activists together to protect, promote and mainstream digital rights and empower women on
