I will suggest that #Brasil2014 be added to Best Bits agenda for Bali.
While CS watches the space with caution, it is better to be proactive.
Discussions can begin NOW on how we intend to mainstream issues around
openness, human rights, affodability and access to the summit.

Incidentally #Brasil2014 is also the tag for the FIFA World Soccer Cup that
will be there, for which I have made plans to be present!

Color me cautious and excited.
