No subject

or Benedicto Fonseca Filho) it's clear that the word "summit" is intended, =
they expect it to be a high level meeting, one that can make decisions.  Th=
ey also said other stakeholders would be involved and that President Rousse=
ff intends it to be multistakeholder (i.e. made clear on multilateral/multi=
stakeholder; it's multistakeholder.)

Also seems they are keen to see international principles and norms for Inte=
rnet governance as an outcome.=20

So what did we learn from the meetings and chats Brazilian govt delegation =
about their intention for the summit, what else did they say?  What's the p=
urpose of the summit, what do they see as the outcome?  Do they have an age=
nda?  What are the known topics for discussion?  Is it a one-off meeting, o=
r do they have proposals for an ongoing process.  Was the 2015 IGF mentione=
d? (would make make sense: gives around 18 months and Brazil to start and f=
inish...)

How will non-government stakeholders participate in the summit preparatory =
process?
How will non-government stakeholders participate in the summit?
How will non-government stakeholders participate in any post-summit activit=
ies?

And what did the other stakeholders have to say?  Is the Summit the place t=
o begin discussions about the topics in the Montevideo statement?  Other is=
sues as well?  Particularly what's ICANN's role?  What are the goals of the=
 different groups: what does Business want, what do the I* want?=20

Thanks,
