Lun Jun 17 15:14:22 UTC 2013

Sylvia, todos,

Muchas gracias por compartirnos esta información sobre los cursos de Diplo.
Quienes fuimos alumnos de estos cursos sabemos lo útiles que son para crear
capacidades en temas vinculados a la gobernanza de Internet.
Si bien todos los cursos que nos compartís son muy interesantes, quisiera
resaltar el de Infraestructura y Recursos Críticos de Internet, donde una
de las lectures es Fatima Cambronero, junto a Vladimir Radunovic, a quien
también conocemos porque nos estuvo disertando el año pasado en nuestro
ciclo de creación de capacidades iniciado por Fatima y Natalia.

Ojalá varios de ustedes puedan participar.
Saludos,

José.-
