Dear Juan

Thank you for letting us all know of this initiative. Great news and 
congratulations to all of those involved in this project for Italy.

The IRPC Charter Booklet is now in Spanish, with Portuguese on the way 
and - hopefully - French too, alongside the German, Arabic, Farsi, and 
Mandarin editions. It would be great to have an Italian edition to 
accompany this launch of an Italian Declaration of Internet Rights and 
support the work in this way.

Looking forward to hearing how things develop!

best wishes
MF
