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

[Rafik Dammak]

Hello,

maybe I will looks quite cautious against the enthusiasm and excitement
emerging here, but listening to Fadi short message, I am wondering about
the meaning of openness  since he is talking about "leaders" of
governments, civil society etc (I think that is alarm bell for those
familiar to his speeches). it may look like the WEF of IG more than IGF
alike.
while we are still having heated discussion about the "inflation" of
conference and venues like Cyber Conf in seoul , how can we welcome such
summit?

Best,

Rafik
