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

It's looks like for us at Brazil, wow! 
Dilma new positioning, that was 180º turn, is fantastic, but the "worms"  still in the government like Paulo Bernardo Minister and in the Congress like Deputy Eduardo Cunha that was defending the interest of the telecommunications companies since ever. 

The incredible sequence of good news from our President, it's a motivation for our (Brazilian) optimism, but as activist we need to care about what Dilma say and what the rest of the government actors understand. 

Otherwise the support of international community was and will continue to be very important on the construction of new and important scenario. Remember that the last IGF I spoke on behalf of some Brazilian Organizations about the threats on Marco Civil and the Internet at Brazil ( http://movimentomega.org.br/2012/11/marco-civil-framework-for-internet-rights-the-multistakeholder-legislative-model-seriously-threatened/ ).

So I really wanna to thank all involved on this changes, and really hope to speak about our progressive positioning on Internet Governance.

Thank you!
