I think Carlos have deep connections enough with the ICANN community, no... We need to take the Brazil summit outwards towards key global Internet related public policy issues that are real concerns for the world, and not more inwards towards narrow ICANN issues, which are a very limited set. But I agree that the four existing reps being all from Brazil, a developing country, maybe the additional person can be from a developed country.  Crossing these two considerations, I think Michael Gurstein should make a great choice.

Thanks for this - I will forward this nomination assuming that Michael doesn't intend to participate in the selection process on behalf of his community informatics network.

Also, Carlos A Afonso has just notified us of his withdrawal from the group of four Brazilian liaisons.  This means that, assuming we affirm the other three, we do need to suggest two names rather than one, to make a total of five 1net reps.

So to recap, the names we can put forward to the joint committee for consideration so far are Rafik Dammak, Michael Gurstein and (tentatively?) Matthew Shears, in addition to the continuation of Joana, Laura and Carolina.
