[discuss] another netmundial? - was 💰I think I've found it!

In this dialogue on a new edition of NETmundial (NETmundial+5 is one of
the ideas, suggested by Wolf), we need to keep in mind (although it
seems obvious) that any new initiative of follow-up, review, next steps
etc should not be dependent on Brazil's initiatives. This time passed
with the parlamentarian coup of 2016. Given the possible transition of
CGI.br which may be imposed by the current government, probably
destroying what is left of our mulltistakeholder "model", I am not even
sure we can count on CGI.br in the near future for leadership or
significant support to any initiative.

So, let us think of the possibilities suggested by Wolf. This would then
be in 2019. I am of course totally for it and I am sure so is organized
civil society in Brazil which follows closely on IG issues (like the
100+ Coalition on Netowrk Rights among others), if we can repeat the
method, the process, and the final recommendations' building by consensus.

fraternal regards
