Hi Carlos,
I understand your excitement and pride as Brazilian but as Tunisian I am
more cautious with what my gov can claim :) (I would instead wait till
marco civil to be voted to celebrate for example but yes I am not familiar
with Brazilian internal politics)
not sure what is your take regarding IGF, ywa you are talking about
interesting process , but we dont have such process now and it looks more
as an interpretation and wish than something concrete. are you looking to
replace IGF by a summit yet to be defined?
Best,
Rafik
