[discuss] [bestbits] Fwd: Heads up on Brazil meeting preparation

Thu Jan 9 15:04:02 UTC 2014

Those were Fadi's words, and afaik he was also in Bali and Montevideo, and
the Brazil meeting came out of his meeting with Ms. Roesseff (which I'll
have more success convincing my kids that Santa is real than a potential
meeting was not previously discussed and work in the background was already
in movement.)

Well whatever you please to call this cabal, you need to get our act
together and the message straight, for some reason 1net is involved in
helping with the coordination of the meeting in Brazil.

Do we care much about it now ? Me not, others seem to still have some
reservations about why they have to go through 1net (whatever this abstract
entity is or will be) to secure their representation and have their voices
heard.

BTW, who is the 1net coordinating committee ?

Decisions have been and appointments for the Brazil meeting have been made,
people have been participating and will be participating in preliminary
planning meetings, etc, etc. So somebody is calling the shots right ?

Regards
Jorge
