I am in fact in full agreement to 'The Brazilian model should be 
extended more widely' ..... I just dont agree with your description as 
being the existing Brazilian model :) . It sepaks about one part of it 
but not the other.

I am even happy to say


"Brazilian multistakeholder model of Internet governance should be 
extended more widely, including to the global level."

Please see the above formulation. But if you insist that CGI experience 
(which model I like a lot) should be mentioned as an inspiration, I am 
unable to understand why should then the Marco Civil experience also be 
mentioned, the two together kind of completing the Brazilian model.

so maybe we can say;

""Reinforce our support for the Brazilian multistakeholder approach to 
Internet governance, which model should be extended more widely, 
including to the global level. In this regard CGI and Marco Civil 
process should serve as an inspiration".

This formulation just adds Marco Civil process as a part of Brazilian IG 
system to your earlier formulation which I understand is only a fact. It 
takes nothing away from it.
