Dear colleagues,(apologies for cross-posting)

FYI, next week FGV’s Rio de Janeiro Law School will host the South School of Internet Governance. The initiative stems from a partnership between FGV’s Center for Technology and Society (CTS) and the Centro de Capacitación en Alta Tecnología (CCAT - LAT).

The central theme of the 2017 SSIG will be “Sustainable Internet Governance”. The event will offer remote participation, with video streaming in Portuguese, Spanish and English, via Facebook Live.
