[bestbits] [governance] Rousseff & Chehade: Brazil will host world event on Internet governance in 2014

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Parminder,

being from developing county myself , I am not supporting cyber conf in
seoul approach and asked why we should support a summit in Brazil yet to be
defined  when there are a lot of concerns about cyber conf series . the
inflation of fora is not in benefit of CS and in particular those from
developing countries
I would like to have clear principles about such IG conference and fora , I
don't think that we can or should prevent them but at least asking them to
embrace the principles of openness , inclusion etc

Best,

Rafik
