[governance] Our strategy, work plan and outreach

Mon Nov 1 05:23:16 EDT 2010

Dear all,

First, thanks Wolfgang for this starting information. I was really needing
some kind of map like this.

Now going to the point, thanks Izumi for your ideas, and I want to express
my disposition to contribute with this proposal, specially in the
enlargement of spanish-speaking (portuguese also) LAC representation within
this caucus.

If there are more LAC spanish/portuguese speaking members in this list, I
suggest as first step to create a sub-group and start thinking on how to
enlarge and improve our representation, participation and incidence in
IGC/IGF.

Thanks and best,
Roxana
