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

[Carlos Affonso Pereira de Souza]

Hi everyone: just to let you know that we at the Center for Technology
and Society (CTS/FGV) are willing to help in the organization of the
IRP workshop here in Rio in August.

It would be important for the regional meeting to reflect the debates
that are going on inside the DCs. In addition to that, a major debate
over the balance between the needs of criminal prosecution and the
enforcement of human rights at the Internet environment is going on in
Brazil nowadays, as some of you may have heard, due to the proposal of
a very controversial Bill-of-Law. For reasons like that it would be
important to have the IRP DC staging this debate at the Rio meeting.

Count us in for the organization of such workshop. It would be very
nice to have some input from the members of the DC on what to target
in the event and, of course, all the help we can get to organize (and
think about) the workshop down here in Rio would be great.

Best,
Carlos
