[governance] possible DC workshop in Rio

[Carlos Afonso]

Ralf, the important thing here is for civil society to have the 
opportunity to know in advance what the DCs are proposing (knowing 
obviously they are pluralist) and have some space for a preparatory 
debate on them -- they are mostly "dead" (hibernating?) right now, but I 
trust there will be activity as the IGF approaches and they will have 
some meaningful propositions.

I have just learned that Giganet will run until 16:00. The proposal now 
is to start the civil society meeting at 15:00 to minimize overlap, but 
please keep in mind I am just checking on this because if I get a 
positive reaction in general I will approach local organizers seeking 
support for such a meeting.
