Dilma could hardly refuse Fadi's trap. He came to offer (poisonous 
offer) more than what she determinedly asked for with full CS support.

Now the game for her is to reverse the trap and outsmart USSH Inc. 
(US Stake Holders incorporated). Your proposition may help her: 
Carlos could propose to hold and invite her to a "Civil Society 
summit" in preparation (not in parallel) to the Montevideoan's 
summit.  With Dilma's sponsoring he could even call for logistical 
help from Anatel. Dilma would then be the first to achieve a 
multistakeholder process where a counter-summit would merge (and 
necessarily influence) with an official summit. No one could object 
to the whole thing not being on an equal footing

Please remember what Carlos wrote ten days ago about our new "family" 
members: "The transnational oligopoly of telecommunications companies 
here (Claro Mexico, Telef a de Espa Telecom Italia, Oi/Portugal 
Telcom, and GVT/Vivendi) seems quite isolated now on its insistence 
in inserting violations of net neutrality in the MC. But we cannot 
underestimate its  lobbying power in Congress." Fadi brought the 
response: we will discuss net neutrality violations with those who 
hold stakes in their perpetrations. We then are entitled to say: let 
us also discuss them with those who experience them.

This way we will squeeze Dilma (she cannot [and do not want to] 
refuse us) into squeezing the USSH leaders.
