I spent the summer in Brazil researching and blogging about the new
infrastructure it is building for the World Cup and Olympics, the protests
and its internal internet governance regulations, specifically the
evolution of the Marco Civil, a bill of rights for the internet that its
Congress is debating at the moment.

A lot of its international approach is based on this domestic experience,
and they are working to apply the principles of their laws and institutions
to international governance systems, for instance the infrastructural and
regulatory oversight methods developed by its Internet Steering Committee
(Comite Gestor da Internet). Curious if there are other latin
american/brazilian specialists looking at these issues from this
perspective:
