[bestbits] Re: [governance] Brazil meeting -- press release

[M.Ermert]

Hi,

i tried several channels to get more information on the release (and its
publication), so perhaps somebody (Carlos?) is able to answer, where has
the original release been published?
I was unable to find it on either cgi.br or
http://www.brasil.gov.br/?set_language=en

Thanks,

Monika
