NETmundial Day 0: by Achal Prabhala — published Apr 23, 2014 — filed under: Internet Governance, NETmundial
Day O of NETmundial began at Arena NetMundial, an alternative-ish, Brazilian counterpart to the official "multistakeholder" meeting being organised at the very expensive Grand Hyatt. Arena NETmundial began today and will extend until the last day of NETmundial; it's being organised at the very democratic Centro Cultural São Paulo - free to all, no registration required - and offers space for a whole host of organised and spontaneous activity.

NETmundial Day 1: by Achal Prabhala — published Apr 24, 2014 — filed under: ICANN, IANA, Internet Governance, NETmundial
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's speech at the opening of NETmundial in São Paulo was refreshingly free of the UN-speak that characterised virtually every single other presentation this morning.
