[governance] [bestbits] full title of BR conference

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

In American English (Webster) the word global carries a connotation of
totality, homogeneity, along with unification, centralization and hegemony
(e.g. internet). In other words *global does not include subsidiarity and
diversity*. No wonder it is used ad nauseum in PR blah..

World(wide) is more appropriate, as there is no hint of homogeneity, only
of geographical presence.
