[IRP] Second Latin American and Caribbean Preparatory Meeting for the IGF

[Ginger Paque]

Hi Max and all,
I would be interested, but do not know if the agenda is set. Graciela 
could tell us.

I think rights and principles is an especially important area for LA 
right now.

What do others say?

Saludos,
Ginger
