>> * Mis planos para el MAG estan nel contexto de tener más debate de
>> gobernanza de internet dentro de iniciativas de desarollo sostenible
>> regional. Mi nominación fué hecha por una ciudadana de João Pessoa,
>> Brazil, donde el último IGF se pasó y en la misma región en que vivo

>>
>> * Mis objectivos como participante del MAG van a ser cambiar la falta
