[NCUC-DISCUSS] [bestbits] Re: [governance] list of important questions to be delivered to LOC before 27th meeting

Sun Jan 26 08:42:23 EST 2014

Hi Adam,

Thanks for this.

A less complicated question, but also important, that was also delivered to
me is that if there will be any support for visas. (I shall remember you
that Brazil operates under reciprocity logic, so every country that
requires a visa to Brazilians will be required too. For instance: USA).

About numbers, being realistic and perhaps polemical, if the event is
planed for around 1000 people. There are about 196 countries in the world,
193 UN member states. Not all will attend. If we have 4 stakeholders, I
would say that around 150-200 seats for civil society would be an
interesting number to evaluate. There might be many problems behind this
math... but just starting to give it a try.

Best

Joana
