Dear All,

Apparently the Submission forms for Brazil are now online. They can be
accessed via  http://content.netmundial.br/

These are generic guidelines. If there are further requests for
clarification, we can consolidate our queries and channel them to our civil
society representatives who can inform us. In the mean time, we had best
get cracking at the type of content we would like for Brazil. *Deadline for
content submission is March 1, 2014.*

Further and better details of the Content Submission is available on the
link provided and also copied below for ease of reference and reading:

Content submission form

Content submission is divided in two sections. Contributions are invited on
Internet Governance Principles and The Roadmap for the Further Evolution of
the Internet Governance Ecosystem.

Significant work has been done to develop statements on various Internet
governance principles by a number of intergovernmental, civil society,
technical and academic, and private sector organizations. To help guide
your contributions we ask you to consider a non-exhaustive list of
statements available on the NETmundial
website.<http://content.netmundial.br/internet-governance-principles/>
It
may be helpful if contributions make reference to specific documents and
statements considered particularly appropriate to a set of universal
principles and explain why.

Issue 1. Internet Governance Principles

The NETmundial meeting aims to identify a set of universal principles to be
promoted as a global inspiration for the evolution of the Internet
worldwide. Those principles should be viewed from the perspective of the
Internet as a platform for social, economic and human development and a
catalyzer to exercise human rights of all people of the world.

Issue 2. Roadmap for the Further Evolution of the Internet Governance
Ecosystem

Roadmap for the Further Evolution of the Internet Governance Ecosystem
There is a broad view about the need to continue evolving the
Multistakeholder Internet Governance Ecosystem. The goals are to energize
discussion and to achieve greater consensus of the community including a
broader range of stakeholders to provide possible means for developing
solutions to specific problems faced by governments/stakeholders. There are
several ongoing initiatives trying to contribute with that objective. The
meeting and related discussions will be an important milestone to support
the developing multistakeholder consensus on important governance issues.
It could serve as valuable inputs to other forums, seek for more
clarification and pursue agreements for the way forward

In submitting your contributions, please consider the following questions
as a guide:

   - Issues' statement (what are the issues?)
   - Is there a forum or Internet Governance body that develops policy or
   technical outcomes involved in these issues?
   - If there is, how and why are these issues not being adequately dealt
   with by that forum or organization?
   - What are the possible responses to the challenges posed by these
   issues?
   - How will the possible responses proposed ensure the stability,
   resilience and efficiency and also comply with principles of equitable
   multistakeholder participation, accountability, transparency and
   predictability?

Further background materials may be made available, as required such
materials will be linked from this page.

If you have questions about how to fill in the forms please contact the
Executive Secretariat <content at netmundial.br>.

Deadline for the content submission is March 1st.
