[bestbits] [discuss] Internet Governance in Latin America research project

Sun Apr 26 07:51:07 EDT 2015

Hi Anriette and all

It is great to have your replies, as I keep on developing this project,
I'll also try to map the organizations you've mentioned Anriette and
include them in the research.

I'm trying to get a snapshot of the most recent years in internet
governance in Latin America and perspectives for the future

It is true that organizations change and people change but I do see that as
a positive force behind all of the internet governance movements as some
who are entering universities or civil societies organizations right now
may be the ones driving future debates in the area.

Taking the risk of adding another request to the one I've sent before, I
forgot to add that I'm also looking for capacity building on internet
governance initiatives, if anyone could send their programs (academic or
not) to raquino at gmail.com again I'd thank you

Regards
