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

I am repeating myself - but at this stage  there is nothing to be done 
other than welcoming and supporting the initiative, as it is expressed 
till now, and extending (and seeking) partnership ... This doesnt take 
long to either agree to or not.... And any such letter would be received 
with delight by Brazilians and not any fatigue. I am not able to see 
adequate, or rather any, reason to delay this, and not opportunistically 
leverage the advantage of immediate and early response, when things are 
in a formative stage... parminder
