[bestbits] [bit of news] on Brazilian announcement for the Summit

[Lee W McKnight]

I will second the suggestion for the letter, tactically innocuous but helpful to cs at this moment.

Joana why don't you draft what you need, and then someone can revise and we discuss.

Subject: [bestbits] [bit of news] on Brazilian announcement for the Summit

Dear all,

More from the field:

Brazilian government (or the national steering committee coordinating the summit) have a meeting today afternoon with the technical community (Icann and Isoc at least) to coordinate 0.o and shall release more info about the Summit soon. I've just written an email to the national steering committee requesting more info and inclusiveness for the liasons. From civil society, only Glaser (cgi.br<http://cgi.br>), and maybe Carlos (?), will be there.

Also, Minister of Communications, Paulo Bernardo is going for the first time to Icann and have a 45min slot in the program (attached).

Once again, as suggested by Matthew, I do believe a formal letter nominating and explaining our role as liasons, and not representatives, for International Civil Society for information regarding the Summit will be good to legitimate and help our job here.

best

joana
