[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC workshop accepted at IGF

Sat Jun 17 15:22:27 CEST 2017 

Congrats Ayden and all the fellows who were involved. We know how important the space is, and how competitive this year's selection was.

As Bill has mentioned, other NCUC members proposed or are involved with other accepted proposals. I co-authored one of these with UNESCO fellows concerning trends in freedom of expression. It is a closely related issue and we could very well incorporate other members' contributions and extend NCUC space/participation/impact.

Congratulations once again,
Cláudio
