[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Colleagues, this note is not directly relevant to ICANN but is in a way indirectly, especially for our community, due to historical continuity of the almost only subject of "policy" in which we have had an internal debate intense and expressions towards ICANN processes. To refresh the memory and introduce the theme to new members, since they are old themes, These were the closed gTLDs .amazon and .patagonia. The note is that the Lula government, in Brazil, is spreading fiber optics to the Amazon basin, a region singularly difficult to connect due to their physical conditions, lack of infrastructure including roads and electricity, geographical dispersion of its population, and others: https://dplnews.com/lula-inaugura-red-de-fibra-optica-para-carrer-internet-a... According to the note, the connection will eventually reach Leticia, Colombia, also an isolated place and in which the complications of the physical geography and poverty are added some others in the limits of the legal framework. This action is given without even citing the multilateral organization of the governments of the countries of this basin, whose absence was also notorious in the gTLD process. Hopefully those who live in these countries have opportunities to take advantage of this news to attract the attention of your authorities as well as civil society and technical community for a vision integral and that supports the development of both the infrastructure for Internet as its use in all layers, and also for strengthen the tools of those who legitimately, and not just in name, are concerned about the environmental devastation that according to multiple news continues in the region, with high-risk global effects.
