The school will be on the 1st week of April in Brazil and the talks will be in lecture theaters at a few universities to talk about internet policymaking. This email is to invite you to attend these side talks which will happen in Rio and Sao Paulo. If you are in SSIG, in Rio or Sao Paulo, please consider attending phisically by signing up. We have very limited seats and you'll need to receive an email confirmation. We plan also to have an Adobe Connect Room for remote participation.
