*Dear Jeremy Malcolm,*
Greetings from Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication(BNNRC)
In Bangladesh, from civil society side  we have already started preparation
for
Road2
Sao Paulo.

*Major activities are:*
1. Organize pre-consultation on  NetMundial
2. To develop a People's Charter on Internet Governance, consultation with
country wide multi-stakeholders

3. To mobilize Government for joining NetMundial

I would be very happy if you provide me travel funding for joining
NetMundial 2014.
In Bangladesh, we need your advice and support for our process.

With best wishes,

*Bazlu*
