Parminder, and all, you can join Diego and Marilia tomorrow as they discuss
the Brazil situation with us. Participants will be able to make comments
and ask questions in text chat throughout the webinar.

 I would like to invite you to a special webinar we (Diplo) are organising
in collaboration with the Center for Technology and Society of the Getulio
Vargas Foundation (CTS/FGV) of Brazil.

*Brazil is playing an increasingly important role in global digital policy.
Recent events continue to shape Brazil’s position on many issues, including
political developments in reaction to the NSA leaks, its bilateral
relations with the United States, news about the deployment of a BRICS-only
undersea cable, and its renewed ability to influence the global Internet
governance (IG) regime. Is Brazil then leading a new revolution?*

*Join us for our just-in-time webinar on Thursday 26th September at 13:00
GMT when Marília Maciel, director of the Center for Technology and Society
of the Getulio Vargas Foundation (CTS/FGV), and Diego Canabarro, doctoral
student in IG at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and visiting
researcher at the University of Massachusetts, explore whether Brazil is
leading a new revolution in global digital policy.*

The topic should be of interest to anyone following the global developments
in IG. You can read more about the webinar
