[bestbits] ISOC and ISOC-BR declarations about gov consultation on CGIbr

[Daniel O'Maley]

Hi all,
Following up on the two declarations Carlos Afonso circulated, I'm sharing
a post I wrote that deals with how the Brazilian governments efforts to
alter the composition of the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br)
via a hastily-organized public consultation actually undermine digital
democracy principles - Multistakeholder Governance Under Attack in Brazil
<http://www.cima.ned.org/blog/multistakeholder-internet-governance-attack-brazil/>.
While I'm sure that we can all agree that multistakeholder governance is
far from perfect, and needs much improvement, the government's consultation
is more likely about finding a way to diminish civil society participation
at the CGI.br in hopes of weakening net neutrality protections.

Best,
Daniel
