[Chapter-delegates] Internet Governance developments in Brazil and Europe

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Hi, fellow ISOC Chapter Delegates,

in the last few weeks most of the discussion on Internet Governance seems
to be taking place in other spaces, mostly the 1net list and others. We may
find it useful for ISOC to stay abreast of those but also to search, as we
frequently do, for insights and commonality of views among the chapter
delegates.

So... two things today, a comment about Brazil internally from the New York
Times, and a hefty, massive, complex resolution presented at the European
Parliament (hopefully Frederick Donck and others can help us sort it out in
terms of viability and impact), to start discussions:

"Brazil all abuzz about Snowden", from the New York Times is superb. Not
coming from the American right like others who disqualify Snowden,
Greenwald and the whole setup, it does point to Greenwald's manipulations
of Brazil (where he resides, etc.)

I wrote someone months ago that Greenwald was paying royally for his
welcome - glad to see at least another view that agrees with that
interpretation.

Not to deny there is larger trouble out there, but this particularly
pernicious manipulation should not escape us; nor the opportunity to point
it out.

Also don't miss the European Parliament's massive resolution in
