Open invitation to Internet Governance Forum

The UN Secretary General has sent an open letter in which he invites to the IGF in Rio de Janeiro.

The inaugural Internet Governance Forum meeting in Athens, Greece, proved a great success. This year, the Government of Brazil has generously offered to host the second IGF meeting in Rio de Janeiro from 12 to 15 November 2007. I take this opportunity to accept the Government’s offer, and to invite all stakeholders to attend this important gathering. The meeting will be open to all World Summit on the Information Society accredited entities. Other institutions and persons with proven expertise and experience in matters related to Internet governance may also apply to attend.
