[governance] RE: [bestbits] Rousseff & Chehade: Brazil will host world event on Internet governance in 2014

[Anja Kovacs]

When civil society writes too many letters to a person in short succession,
I am afraid they loose their force. As I wrote on the Best Bits list, CS
letters should be received with a mix of excitement and apprehension, I am
concerned that when we send a third, more detailed letter to President
Rousseff next week, she will simply receive it with fatigue.

Civil society is asking for seats at the table all the time. The point is
what we do when we get there. I think a more detailed letter in ten days
time will have more force.

Also because we don't have to sit still in the mean time. There are other
ways in which we can make evident to the Brazilian government that  we are
interested in working with them on this and support this idea, including by
communicating with them to find out more directly and by seeing whether we
can work with them on this through the IGF.

My two paise,
Anja
