[governance] CGI.br holds its 1st itinerant open meeting

[Marilia Maciel]

Hello all,

I would like to share the information that CGI.br has started today an
initiative of holding open meetings in several Brazilian cities, to help
with the democratization and outreach of internet governance issues. The
Civil Rights Framework, network neutrality, principles for Internet
Governance, infrastructure and security issues are on the agenda of this
first two-day meeting that is being held in the city of Manaus, capital of
the state of Amazonas.

The idea is to communicate the activities that are being developed by
CGI.br and to listen to the views and needs of local people, to incorporate
this in CGI's policies. Most of the members of CGI's multistakeholder
steering committee are there, which is great.

The link to the live webcast is: http://cgi.br/reuniao-manaus/  (in
Portuguese only).

Another recent development was the creation of multistakeholder
consultative chambers on issues such as access, digital content, security,
innovation, education, to help to introduce different perspectives to CGI's
steering committee discussions. The first meeting of these chambers took
place last month and an annual plan of action is being finalized. I would
be happy to share further information about that.

Best wishes!
Marília
