[bestbits] [governance] Re: NMI and the Brazilian CGI.br

[Carlos Afonso]

Grande Louis, yes, nobody is perfect :) At the end of WSIS Brazilian 
positions were tainted by the government's effort to elect the Brazilian 
candidate to the ITU secretary general post. This resulted in the 
Brazilian involvement with the unfortunate "like-minded countries" idea. 
But please remember that we are talking about CGI.br, not the Brazilian 
government.

Regarding the complaint mentioning difficulties in contacting 
NETmundial's BR chair, this is the first time I read such a thing. As a 
former member of NETmundial's executive committee, I would appreciate 
more specific information on this.

Finally, at least JNC does not think that "WEF/ICANN" is a "nebulous 
gobbledygook", as they claim to know perfectly well that this a devilish 
concoction for the "corporate takeover of the Internet".

fraternal regards
