According to Paulo Bernardo, the meeting should take place in S?o Paulo . The goal, according to Figueiredo , is organizing a multi-stakeholder meeting to seek common understandings about the subject .

"The goal of the conference is a broad discussion of all stakeholders and sectors directly linked to the internet  Governments , businesses , academia, civil society. We are acting internationally for the protection of human rights. This is the main guidance from our government, to protect freedom of expression, human rights and privacy. We are determined to continue on this path", said Figueiredo .

The purpose of the meeting was arranged at a hearing of President Dilma Rousseff with the CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) , Fadi Chehad? , on October 9th. In this occasion, he said that came "to discuss with her how to achieve practical solutions starting from her her vision for the future, because the world's confidence in the global Internet was injured" and that the idea of the conference was to "discuss how together we set the grounds for our work in governing the internet".

Hi,

Could someone provide a link to any press release from the Brazil govt's press conference this morning?

And interested to know if anyone can say what the Brazil govt wants from the meeting?  I'm remembering from Bali govt reps being quite insistent that the five principles President Rouseff presented to the UN general assembly being essential.  Other issues?

Thanks,

Adam
