In an effort to bring the two policy arenas closer together, we we hope to hear from everyone in the Diplo community about their understanding of sustainable development, and of the role the Internet plays as a global platform, or ecosystem.
Diplo has participated in the Imagining the Internet project and in this group we share and discuss the videos and other materials related to the project.
A space to study and analyze applications for remote participation, with a specific focus on contributing to RP at the upcoming IGF 2009 as a practical application and as an "Emerging Issue".
Did you take the Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme - IGCBP from DiploFoundation? If so, in which year? Who was tutoring you?

What are you currently doing today and projects you have related to Internet governance?
I work at the City of Knowledge project, we will host a hub during the Hyderabad meeting. Next December, we will hold the IGF hub along with the Diplo alumni community at the University of São Paulo, so as to closely follow the developments of the IGF 2008. We want to make the most out of our "hub" condition, for both local and global presence.
In which ways the capacity building provided by Diplo has helped you and your community in Internet governance issues? (Question only for IGCBP Alumni)
As for my personal options, I am becoming more interested in internet governance. This has been a fantastic learning year, I am moving beyond my political science legacy and would really love to take more Diplo courses, especially the Development Diplomacy program. One way or another, Diplo makes me become clearly focused on internet governance as the most fundamental issue in the global order today. This can be a very important evolution after my Master of Arts program in Communication at University of São Paulo.

Hello Pedro, interesting profile and experience. I also share those feelings related to the increasing interest in the general IG topic during this learning moths with Diplo F. That is why i am applying now for a scholarship for the MSc ICT for Development Program in Manchester, UK. I guess this is the greatest fruit of the knowledge aquired this year.
