[governance] [bestbits] full title of BR conference

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Interesting thoughts, Louis. But remember that the ITU uses to call its conferences "world this and that" and they are usually the counterexample for diversity and such.

Subject: [governance] [bestbits] full title of BR conference 
 
In American English (Webster) the word global carries a connotation of totality, homogeneity, along with unification, centralization and hegemony (e.g. internet). In other words global does not include subsidiarity and diversity. No wonder it is used ad nauseum in PR blah..

World(wide) is more appropriate, as there is no hint of homogeneity, only of geographical presence.

Hi,

I have confirmation that the full title of the BR event will be:

Global Multistakeholder Conference On the Future of Internet Governance
Conferência Multissetorial Global Sobre o Futuro da Governança da Internet
Much better! ;)
