[NA-Discuss] Native participation in ICANN/NARALO conferences and events - and LACRALO?

[Peter Knight]

Congrats, Loris, a most welcome development we all should support!

I am checking if there is any similar organization here in Brazil, where
there are substantial numbers of indigenous peoples. As I recall there were
groups in Acre, Amazonas and Bahia active on the Internet, probably more.

And the Andean and Central American countries as well as Paraguay, and to a
lesser extent I think Argentina, have large indigenous populations. I'm
copying this to ISOC-Brasil listserv and a few other possible sources of
information.
