Lusophone Internet Governance Forum
On the 18th and 19th of September, the 1st Lusophone Internet Governance Forum took place, at the Portuguese Language Museum and at the NIC.br Headquarters, in São Paulo – Brazil. With the aim of spreading, deepening and qualifying the practice of multisectoralism, we sought to encourage representatives from different sectors and countries to monitor and give their opinions, share particularities and build common understandings, on issues and solutions for the consolidation and expansion of a diverse, universal, innovative Internet, which expresses the principles of freedom, privacy and human rights in Lusophone countries. And, mainly, to work towards the coordination of individual efforts of the political community of each of these countries in their insertion within the scope of the global IGF.
