I quite happy to see this approved timely for the NET MUNDIAL in Brazil next 23-24th April. Best to all Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados Av.

Now we need to approve it in the Senate. This is the final version of the text: http://www.camara.gov.br/proposicoesWeb/prop_mostrarintegra?codteor=1238705& filename=Tramitacao-PL+2126/2011 Of course, the text is not perfect and we still have to fight for changes on data retention. Nevertheless, its a very happy day for many of the Brazilian civil society organizations mobilized for approving a bill of rights for the Internet. A lot of very good people have been engaged and doing an amazing job in Brasilia and on the social networks, without giving up, despite of the never ending vote-not vote soap opera. #FeelingProud :) I would like to thank you for all the support received to far, as international pressure have helped as well. This is also a good step for NetMundial.
