SV: [governance] Speakers for IGF

Sun Sep 16 22:22:29 EDT 2007

Re media, my sister-in-law Heloisa Mendes is a Globo TV journalist, based in Brasilia.

She usually covers the Brazilian Congress for a Global cable news channel, I can contact her for a referral to a Rio correspondent if she's not interested/available herself - her English is decent, and her husband is a computer graphics/printing guy, so she's exposed at least to some of the geeky side of things.  

I imagine the Brazilian hosts have similar or even better/hgher profile media contacts. Carlos?

If you know the names of people who will be 
attending, why not?  But as it probably costs a 
lot to invite a journalist of this type I don't 
see any point in taking time to discuss names 
unless there's a realistic way of getting them to 
Rio.

Last year I believe the european broadcasting 
union brought them and I guess paid.
